Brazil: Judge Censors Folha Online
Via Reporters sans Frontières.
Reporters Without Borders today condemned the censorship of Folha Online, the website of the Folha de São Paulo daily newspaper, which was ordered by a federal judge on 9 December to withdraw 165 pages from the site that had details of allegedly illegal services provided by a Canadian firm of consultants, Kroll, to Brasil Telecom.
“We deplore this judicial ban, which is both belated and incomprehensible,” the press freedom organisation said. “Belated, because it has been issued more than a year after Folha de São Paulo’s first revelations about the Kroll case. And incomprehensible because no such ban has ever been issued to any other newspaper that case reported on this case since then.”
Reporters Without Borders added : “Why prevent a newspaper’s website from carrying the reports that have already been published in the print editions ? We hope Folha Online will be successful with its appeal.”
