Some 150 university students this morning braved the rain and gagged their mouth to take part in a peaceful demonstration against censorship organised by the Front Kontra c-Censura at the University.

The front was set up after the distribution of a satirical newspaper ir-Realta was not allowed from the University because of one of the stories published.

During the protest, which also included the participation of Graffitti and the public, three students read controversial extracts from Il-Manifest tal-Killer (Karl Schembri), Lady Chatterly’s Lover (D. H. Lawrence) and Crash (J. G. Ballard)

Copies of ir-Realta were also burnt.
