This is a right anybody can use, so please, if there is any problem with a press publication, there are also laws to solve it.

It's a clear message addressed to the journalists in order to [dissuade] them from criticizing the authorities. It's obvious that referring to terms like territorial integrity, religious hostility, violence, the [Uzbek] authorities mean that they are afraid [of] another riot or revolution.

This is totally paradoxical. Denmark is one of the countries in the world where press freedom is the most respected. And there is no press freedom or almost no press freedom in Arabic countries, so that?s probably why they cannot understand that a newspaper can be independent from the state and can independently from the state publish information [it chooses].

It has nothing to do with press now; it has become a political affair.

We understand that some groups can be shocked by the publication of certain information, but there are legal means -- in Denmark and elsewhere -- to resolve this problem. They can file defamation charges in courts.

To threaten people and to accuse a country because a newspaper has published some cartoons or some information that could be interpreted as offensive for one group or another is completely inappropriate.
