Melbourne film-makers documentary ‘Pride of Warriors’ was scheduled to screen on Al Jazeera English channel Thursday night at 6:30pm. In cooperation with the 3rd largest English television broadcasters, the film had been made to uncover secret human rights abuses in the Indonesian Province of West Papua. It appears that the channel bowed to pressure from the Indonesian Government and removed the documentary hours before it was due to be aired. The film, which is said to have been made by smuggling 6 camera’s into the province where foreign media access is severely restricted, voiced West Papuan perspectives of the Indonesian military presence and human rights abuses.
PS Please encourage Al Jazeera to re-schedule the film at:

Moderator please respond..
what???
i put this article up the day after it went down.
and moderator (or someone?) has cut it in half, mixed it with another article of no relevance, and a week later its still on the raw newswire????
how are we going to use this new site for news?
who is editing/moderating?
seriously, who keeps changing the title, the tags, and the content of this article, while leaving it on the raw news?
ok its old news now, but i sure won't bother putting up other melbourne activist news here if it gets so recklessly edited and moderated.
please respond.
