The Indonesian Government has banned a Dutch documentary from an international film festival because it shows statements by one of the Bali bombers on death row.
| Sure wouldn't want to humiliate the man, would we. |
Organisers of the Jakarta International Film Festival say the documentary has been deemed too controversial by the state censorship agency, because it contains comments made by Imam Samudra. Samudra, Amrozi and Muklas have been sentenced to death over their role in the 2002 bombings.
The documentary is about the quest of a puppeteer to meet the three men, and discover their motives. The Dutch film maker used clips from an illegal DVD of their statements.
| All the counterfeiting of DVDs in that part of the world and it's the one with a statement from a bloodthirsty Islamicist that causes trouble. Whoda thunk? |
