Justice Bans Broadcast of Suspicious Documentary on Farmakonisi Incident

The Greek judicial system is working on overdrive. The latest news claims that it has decided to ban the broadcast of a television documentary by investigative -progressive and Leftist- journalist Stavros Theodorakis on MEGA Channel. Judge Antigone Stamoleka rules that the broadcasting of the documentary is going to interfere with the ongoing judicial investigation and as such violates the privacy principle.

Speaking to the To Vima newspaper about the issue, Theodorakis said that his report was objective and that he interviewed people from all sides. MEGA Channel announced that the documentary is being edited and that it is going to broadcast as scheduled on Tuesday, February 18 at 23:30 pm (in other words... the channel is going to ignore the court order!)
