Those who, like us, and how the newspaper that hosts this blog, has fought and will fight against any gag law and against every edict of the Bulgarian can not prove that similar horror when the handcuffs are trying to stop the free movement of opinion and artistic creativity . The decision of the Hungarian parliament to approve a gag law that provides prison penalties for journalists and affects us directly, in Europe, in fact, begins to blow the bad wind of censorship, after Hungary and Bulgaria could also go the same route.The track was opened by Italy which, not surprisingly, he finds himself with former communist countries, led by solid majorities of the right, however, in relation to civil rights and freedom are closer to Putin's Russia than to the large liberal democracies. What happened in Budapest will have repercussions on the same home to the European Parliament against those who would silence protecting the media from the network that today seems to be the true object of desire by many governments.
Article 21 For these reasons, as we have asked the international organizations of journalists to promote a joint initiative in order to make it clear that Hungary's international obscurity to oppose an international transparency that will work, however, to circumvent the prohibitions and to facilitate the free flow of news, perhaps beginning to offer space and support of any kind at the very struggle of Hungarian Journalists.
Similarly, we make our own the appeal launched by dozens of players in the international cinema to demand the revocation of the sentence imposed by the Iranian government the Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who were not given only six years in prison, but also the interdiction for two decades making films and having contacts with the press.
This is a real moral stoning of a death sentence of his artistic activity, the ability to express themselves, to give a sign to the anxieties and tragedies of his people. The conviction came because Panahi had sympathized with the Green Wave, because he paid tribute to the young Neda, massacred by the guards of the regime, because his name was shouted by thousands upon thousands of young people in and outside Iran.
His lawyers have appealed to the European public opinion and international institutions to follow the appeal process, make their voices heard, maybe you do not distract too much not to disturb the business with Tehran. Anyone wishing to join the international petition can do so through the website www.ipetitions. com / petition / solidarity-Jafar Panahi-/, or on the site of Article 21. Italy, however, can and must do more, because we own two thousand Panahi won the Golden Lion in Venice with the film "The Circle". It is the Italian Government to convey the discomfort and anger of many Italians otherwise we have to do with all possible means.
The director Maurizio Sciarra, Italian representative in the Federation of European Audiovisual Observatory, taking up a proposal already made by the associations of authors and directors, called on the media and in particular with the public to pass on this great film director, to speak of his works to promote an information campaign against this outrageous decision that affects the fundamental rights of individuals.
