Indonesian journalists fear new censorship

The Indonesian press council is alarmed by a government review of a 1999 media law. Its members believe the information and communication ministry plans to give the government power to close down media outlets that publish material with which it disagrees. They fear a return to the authoritarian rule of the Suharto period when the media censored, and any criticism of the government was unacceptable. (Via AKI/Jakarta Post)
