IS RSF STUPID?
Posted on May 24th, 2009 in Uncategorized |
Reporters without Borders has been a great organization but yesterday really surprised me by saying: “Cannes Festival jury sends message to Iranian authorities by awarding prize to film co-scripted by Roxana Saberi.”
In other words it was just a political award and has nothing to do with art. Cannes Festival is , as Iranian authorities, claim is a political instrument…
Does RSF know that — the U.S. continues to imprison Ibrahim Jassam, a freelance photographer for Reuters, even though an Iraqi court last December — more than five months ago — found that there was no evidence to justify his detention and ordered him released.
May be he is not as sexy as Roxana or being arrested by American or Iranian is the real issue.
