Ban on magazines

Ban on magazines

From Pancasila Abadi

The clampdown of publication licenses of the three magazines Tempo, Editor and DeTIK came as a great shock to society, particularly the press circle. The government's action is not commendable. To the press sector this is the most bitter lesson that has to be learned. The measures taken by the government is completely beyond my understanding.

Why don't they bring the case to court? At least they could ask the editors of the three magazines to be responsible for their performances. Obviously the ban of the three magazines constitutes a black page in our history of the press.
