“Draconian pre-publication checks – applied in the past to everything from newspapers to song lyrics and even fairy tales – were a hallmark of life under the generals who ran the country for almost half a century until last year. Political and religious journals were the last to be allowed to go to press without pre-approval from the censors starting from Monday. One exception is film censorship which remains in place, an information ministry official told AFP. Television journalists for their part ‘self censor’ by asking for instructions about sensitive news, he added. Reporters jailed under the junta have also been freed from long prison sentences.”
