(RSF/IFEX) — On 15 September 1998, RSF protested the draft law submitted
for approval by the official committee in charge of satellite censorship.
RSF believes that this law could pose a grave threat to the right of
information. The risk lies in the imprecise terms of the draft law, which
could be misused to censor satellite televisions. This law, if adopted
definitively, will be in total contradiction with the democratisation
process undertaken by Kuwait.
