Jacaylbaro Posted September 10, 2007 Ok ,, i agree with you to some extent sxb. But everything has its own regulations sow maaha ? Demonstrations have regulations and it should be approved by the Ministry of Interior. If not then it is considered as illegal. Freedom of press has its own limits and it is not something open ,,,, for example i cannot have a media (say newspaper) to promote Pornography ...... there should be a regulation that is defining what is allowed and what is violating the religion and culture. that is when i'm talking generally ,,, there is no such thing we say it should be open with no borders at all.

Qudhac Posted September 10, 2007 No what am talking about is our goverment ministers arresting and detaining journalist and peacefull demostrators withought trail or warrant, and paying only lip service to the constitution. this is far from saying anything goes, this is simply saying we must protect the basic rtights, other wise why have constitution if it cannot protect the citizens.

Jacaylbaro Posted September 10, 2007 Yes the constitution should protect the citizens ,,, and they should not be held in custody without trial. They should be either released or centenced. That is very clear. But we should't allow some other ppl to come and use this basig rights for their own purposes. That is what i was talking about.
