Internet Chat

The Campaign for Internet Freedom and Living Marxism Online co-host Internet Relay Chats (IRCs).

The next chat is The Picture that Fooled the World

on Wednesday 29 January, 20:00 GMT

The next online debate concerns the attempted ITN censorship of the article "The picture that fooled the world" in the February issue of Living Marxism. Here is the editorial statement:

"LM Magazine has received a letter from ITN's lawyers, threatening libel action unless we agree to pulp our entire February issue, apologise to their journalists and pay damages. This threat is in response to the article 'The picture that fooled the world', by Thomas Deichmann, which reveals the truth about the famous ITN pictures of Bosnian Muslims apparently imprisoned behind a barbed wire fence at Trnopolje camp in August 1992."

The debate will discuss:

• Why does ITN want to censor this article?
• Can the publication of the original photograph be justified?
• Why has it taken four and a half years for the truth to be exposed?
