Repression Or Repressive Mode?

Following is an blog post of Christines who continue her fight for her son Andy. Andy died of the mad cow disease. In this posting, she laments the fact that a Korean TV documentary was stopped from being aired out of fear of repression of the government. Well, not so pleasant, but it is a piece of evidence deepening my worry expressed in my previous posting.

Tuesday 26th August 2008

Here is a recent email from Chang the producer of the MBC documentary My Lost Boy about Andrew and my quest to get the men and women responsible for his death publicly and legally accountable. It seems the conspiracy of silence, cover up and lies extends internationally as well....when there is huge profits to be made in the beef industry whatever country you reside in....the moneymaking machine that is the beef industry is paramount.....profit always before lives and human health.

I am aware that the men and women named and shamed on this website are using their influence in the UK and beyond to block the campaign and my efforts to put my findings into the media and public arena. I am rattling cages upsetting some of the most powerful people in the establishment who have a lot to hide and also a lot to lose. Whilst there is breath in my body I will continue to be my sons truthful voice from the grave.

The situation in Korea is dire, journalists have been imprisoned because of speaking out about BSE, many are being intimidated and frightened. Its more subtle but s similar tale here. Chang’s private email was blocked to me and he has had to contact me via another address, many Korean websites that carried the link www.justiceforandy.com have had it removed by the Korean government.

Whatever your faith or belief (I feel we are all brothers and sisters of one global family) join me in my support and prayers for Chang and his team who are risking their careers, livelihoods and more by broadcasting the programme highlighting Andrews terrible death and dying and my fight for justice here in the UK.

Dear Christine,

Really sorry to let you know the bad news broadcasting my film is postponed again after the preview and discussion among the director and the chief producers of our department.

The exact decision is that 'we don't give up the broadcasting the film, but we will decide the exact date to air.

I'm totally upset and frustrated...I heard there was an attempt to move me from the documentary team to another program, however I will try to do my best to protect my film and to air the film for the sake of me and you, especially Andrew.

Later, hope sending you good news...

Regards,

Chang
