Indonesia curbs foreign news


Monday 30 January 2006, 12:41 Makka Time, 9:41 GMT    



Indonesia is to begin enforcing a law that bans local broadcasters from 
relaying live news provided by foreign stations.



The ban will affect programmes from the BBC and Voice of America (VOA), the 
communications minister said on Monday.

Local media organisations protested against the law as an attack on press 
freedom when it was passed last year. 

Sofyan Djalil, the minister for communications, said that starting on 5 
February television and radio stations will no longer be able to broadcast news 
programmes or breaking news directly from foreign stations.

Stations will have to first receive the broadcasts, edit them and then 
rebroadcast from a local relay station.

Blame culture

Djalil said the reason for the law was so that viewers could hold someone 
responsible if the broadcasts were offensive. throHe did not say what 
punishment violators of the law would face.

Shortwave programming by the BBC and VOA will be unaffected by the ban, as will 
broadcasts available over the internet. Live foreign news can still be 
broadcast by 
satellite and cable television providers.

Several local TV and radio stations will probably be affected by the ban, but 
they were not immediately available for comment.

Affected foreign news organisations would include the BBC, VOA, and Deutsche 
Welle of Germany, among others.
