It is not easy to find the courage and to raise your voice as a journalist in the countries of Mid East or southern Asia.
As a Correspondent for the Greek Television in Mid East the last 8 years i kept my self and my mouth quiet a lot of times, just because i had to respect the traditions or the local ethical rules.
Few other times i cross the red thin line and i found my self loosing friends and partners.
Whatever...right or wrong it does ’t matter.
Parwiz Kambakhsh he proof as an independent journalist that he can raise he’s voice.
I don’t really believe that Hamid Karzai will not aprove the immediate release of a young Afghan Journalist, but on the other hand who ever visit the country can understand how dificult the balances there.
Politics-tradition-Ethical rules-Freedom of Speech.
There is no question.Freedom of Speech. Freedom to him. Now.
