'Serambi Indonesia' resumes publication<\/p>\n
BANDA ACEH: Banda Aceh-based daily Serambi Indonesia resumed
\npublication on Friday after suspending printing on March 11 for
\nsecurity reasons.<\/p>\n
The eight-page daily had to stop publishing due to threats
\nfrom Free Aceh Movement (GAM) separatist rebels, who alleged that
\nits daily reports on events in Aceh were unbalanced.<\/p>\n
In its editorial, the newspaper pledged to continue to take a
\nneutral stance in reports on conflicts and the situation in Aceh.<\/p>\n
\"The delicate and complex problems in Aceh have taught us to
\nbe very careful and objective in delivering our reports, but
\nstill we have been accused of siding with a certain side. Of
\ncourse there are threats and pressure but we are facing them with
\npatience and acceptance of fate,\" the editorial said.<\/p>\n
\"Therefore we realize that being neutral also carries certain
\nconsequences but we are up to it as such a stance has been taken
\nby the daily all this time,\" it said.<\/p>\n
The censorship has received widespread condemnation from
\njournalist organizations in Jakarta and elsewhere. (50\/edt)<\/p>",
