<nettime> [n5m3-debates] Book Banned in Chile |
[orig to <n5m3-debates-l@waag.org>] The Black Book of the Chilean Justice (El libro negro de la justicia chilena) was banned early April in Chile by a court decision. Journalist Alejandra Matus flew out of the country the same day her book was launched and ... banned, she was worried because of previous attempts by journalists to break censorship to investigative journalism resulted in arrest and trials, though they were later freed. The Chilean Digital Journalists Asociation has posted the book in its entirety at http://freespeech.org/apd, hence displaying the book for all Chileans to read. (Text is in Spanish) It's a pretty amazing expose--written by a newspaper beat reporter who covered the Chilean Supreme Court and appeals court. It's dedicated to two colleagues who covered the same beat, and who were murdered.
