Al Jazeera sedition report notcensored

Anjulie Ngan

The Al Jazeera programme on Malaysias sedition crackdown is not a victim of censorship.

A source from the Middle Eastern satellite TV station said that this is despite part two of the program missing from the alloted time slot yesterday.

There is no censorship. The updated package (or Part 2) of the programme simply fell through the cracks, the source told Malaysiakini this evening.

He said this when asked about word that an Al Jazeera programme that showcased a live interview with a guest from Human Rights Watch (HRW) on the current crackdown political and other personalities on sedition charges in Malaysia was pulled out for censorship.

Lawyers for Liberty co-founder Eric Paulsen tweeted on his handle @EricPaulsen101: Wonder if Astro censored @Al Jazeera news on Malaysias sedition crackdown it was on in the afternoon but not seen late tonight.

This sparked the speculation on censorship.

The first part of the report contained a live interview with a HRW spokesperson and that was aired between 1pm until 6pm yesterday, the Al Jazeera source said.

However, the updated package had footage of Safwan Anangs silent protest at KLCC and Al Jazeera was not able to air it due to the precedence other news stories took, such as Isis, ebola, and so on.

Thailands ruling military junta isfurther tightening itsgripon the public discourse by heightening its censorship measures, going as far as reportedly implementing widespreadsurveillance of Thai Internetusers. The new measure seeks to crush criticism at the military government and tocrack down on anything that is deemed insulting to the royal institution also known as lse majest.

When the Thai military declared martial law two days before it launched the coupof May 22, 2014, one of the main targetswas the complete control of the broadcast media, which resulted in the presence of soldiers at all major television channels and the shutdown of thousands of unlicensed community radio stations and over a dozen politically partisan satellite TV channels,primarily those belonging to the warring street protest groups.

Nearly five months later, most of these satellite TV channels (with one notable exception) are back on the air but have been renamed and had to considerably toned down their political leanings before they were allowed to broadcast again.TheTV hosts who were last years heavy-hitting political TV commentators are now hosting entertainment programs or, if theyre lucky, return to a talk show format, but only in the name of national reform and reconciliation.

But the military junta, also formally known as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO),still has afirm grip on the media, as it has set upspecific monitor watchdogs for different media platforms (and also specifically for foreign news outlets) to screen out critical content against the NCPO. Furthermore, ithas practically issued a gag order to the Thai media only then to reiterate that while criticism against the military junta is allowed, it shouldonly be done in good faith.

The censorship measures and the monitoring efforts also extend online. Unlike during the last military coup in 2006, the emergence of social media networks makes it a daunting uphill battle for the juntato control the narrative. Nevertheless, the authorities have always been eager to have more control to filter and censor online content and have blatantlyresorted to phishing for user information, andeven considered launching its ownnational social network.And there was this:

In late May,a brief block of the social network Facebooksparked uproar online, while statements by the Ministry for Information andTelecommunicationTechnology (MICT) and the NCPO over whether or not the Facebook-block was ordered or it was an technical glitchcontradicted each other. It emerged later through a the foreign parent company of a Thai telco companythatthere actually was an orderto block Facebook, for which itgot scolded by the Thai authorities.

The junta also reactivated its Cyber Scout-initiative, recruiting school children and students to monitor online content for dissidents, and announcedplans forinternet cafes to install camerasso that parents can remotely monitor what their kids are doing.

The toweringmotive of the juntas onlinemonitoring efforts has been recently laid out by outgoing army chief, junta leader andPrime MinisterGeneral Prayuth Chan-ocha:

CTC Media Inc. (CTCM), which runs Russias sixth-biggest television station, fell in New York yesterday on concern the government will limit foreign ownership in media companies.

CTC, whose largest shareholder is Stockholm-based Modern Times Group AB (MTGB), dropped 3.1 percent to $9.20, the biggest retreat in four weeks, as Russian legislators began work on a law aimed at capping foreigners stakes in print, radio and TV media. CTC, the countrys only publicly-traded TV broadcaster, has lost 34 percent this year on the Nasdaq Stock Market, compared with an 18 percent drop in the Bloomberg index of the most-traded Russian stocks in the U.S.

The legislation seeks to cap foreign media ownership at 20 percent, from the current 50 percent, forcing international shareholders to lower their stakes by early 2017 or shut down their companies. The move forms part of a series of measures that President Vladimir Putins government has taken since the U.S. and Europe began imposing sanctions on Russia for its involvement in the Ukraine conflict. Other steps have included the barring of some imports, tighter control over the Internet and an appeal to the nations companies to delist shares from overseas bourses.

This draft law confirms yet again that the country is on a path to isolating itself, Kirill Yankovsky, director of equity sales at Otkritie Capital, said by phone from London yesterday. It wants to reduce foreign investors role and influence and is now focusing on the media sector. Some investors are asking now whether Internet companies, the markets darlings, are at risk of becoming the next target.

The average 12-month price estimate on CTCs stock plunged to $10.84 on Aug. 20, the lowest level since 2009, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shares surged 79 percent last year.

CTC, which gets more than 96 percent of its revenue from ad sales, will post its first annual sales decline since at least 2010, according to the mean of 11 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg, as economic growth in the country slows. The companys billionaire shareholder Yury Kovalchuk was included on a U.S. sanctions list on March 20.

We are analyzing this draft law and monitoring its progress carefully, Yuliana Slashcheva, who took over CTC Media as Moscow-based chief executive officer in August last year, wrote in an e-mail yesterday. Given the early stage in the legislative process, we are not commenting on the potential timelines or outcomes.

Russias TV ad market grew 4 percent in January through June to about 79 billion rubles ($2.1 billion), according to data from the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia. The TV ad market expanded 9 percent in 2012 and 2013, the data show.

Gross domestic product will grow 0.5 percent this year, the slowest since a 2009 contraction, the Economy Ministry predicts, while the average of 38 economist forecasts compiled by Bloomberg indicates an expansion of just 0.25 percent.

Since June, the ruble has been the worlds worst-performing currency, driving up the price of imports and helping push annual inflation to 7.6 percent last month. A weaker ruble cuts CTC Medias dollar-denominated revenue, while higher inflation saps purchasing power.
