WSIS: Swiss President Censored by Tunisian TV
Swiss President Samuel Schmid has been censored by Tunisian television for harshly criticising states that muzzle civil liberties.
Schmid's comments at the opening of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis drew lengthy applause from delegates who were his only audience.
"It is, quite frankly, unacceptable for the United Nations to continue to include among its members states which imprison citizens for the sole reason that they have criticised their government on the internet or in the media," Schmid said in his opening speech.
