Abu Mazin has banned Al Jazeera in the West Bank - because they claimed he killed Arafat. I am doubtful Abu Mazin was culpable. But I am quite certain Arafat was assassinated. I visited him with a press delegation a couple of days before he was taken ill - and he was as fit as a fiddle.The International Media Council of the Next Century Foundation is convinced that the honesty or dishonesty of media affects the mental health of the world. Freedom of expression is vital as a means of permitting all views to flourish peacefully. It is a cliché that the price of this freedom must be continual vigilance – in particular vigilance to identify and expose the encouragement of malice, war and the incident of hate speech and image.
