HK regulator rejects calls to reclassify 'indecent' Bible.
HONG KONG: A Hong Kong media regulator has rejected demands to reclassify the
Bible as an indecent publication after receiving more than 2,000 obscenity
complaints about the holy book. The Television and Entertainment Licensing
Authority (TELA), which oversees the publishing industry, ruled that the Bible
has not violated its morality standards.
"The Bible is a religious text which is part of civilization. It has been
passed on from generation to generation", the regulator said in a statement
released late Thursday. "TELA considers that such longstanding religious texts
or literature have not violated standards of morality, decency and propriety
generally accepted by reasonable members of the community", it added.
The regulator refused to divulge details of the 2,235 complaints it received,
but local media reported they referred to acts of violence, rape and
cannibalism reputedly contained in the Old and New Testament.- AFP.
