UAE media body strongly resisted the new draft law, not because if prevents insulting others, but because it vigorously slams the freedom of press and expression. If someone reads the draft law, would easily discover those. UAE press is still in kindergarten when it comes to freedom of speech? Well yes, but guys like this take them even back to nursery; he was a one grand slammer of free press in the country throughout the history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-44988334881992037992009-02-10T16:24:00.000+03:002009-02-10T16:24:00.000+03:00"A Danish paper attacked Prophet Mohammad (peace b..."A Danish paper attacked Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). It was said this is freedom of expression. Can somebody express freely his point of view about the Holocaust? Tell me? Nobody can. This means that there are things that have to be taken into consideration."<BR/><BR/>Someone did in the very same newspaper that interviewed this guy, IIRR. And nice bit of reverse anti-semitism in there. <BR/><BR/>Basically, journalists in the UAE are f*cked if they want to print anything that can be construed to be negative of the regime. Recourse to a court staffed and controlled by the ruling classes? Do me a favour.<BR/><BR/>I can only hope none of my former colleagues fall foul of doing a job that was promised to 'change the culture' of the country.
