Censorship can never be justified. Do you agree?

Censorship refers to the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society. censorship can be achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other forms of communication for the purpose of altering or suppressing ideas found to be objectionable or offensive. The rationales for censorship have varied, with some censors targeting material deemed to be indecent; heretical; or treasonous. Thus, ideas have been suppressed under the guise of protecting three basic social institutions: the family, the church, and the state. Unjustified means that it is not right or proper.

Example of censorship being unjustified is the incident which happened on 4 Feb 2005

King Gyanendra has sacked the government, declared a state of emergency and imposed media censorship saying it had failed to tackle the Maoist rebel uprising.this resuts in Media having to promise not to pose a "threat" to the security situation. Their correspondent says that, with phone lines cut for a lot of the time and media censorship, there has been almost no flow of information. There is no longer any independent reporting on radio, while newspaper and television offices have had regular visits from military censors with warnings not to criticise the royal takeover.
This shows that censorship is unfair to the citizens who are kept in the dark and away from the truth. Being citizen of Nepal, they should be kept aware of all the happenings in Nepal. By censoring facts, people will not be able to have a full picture of the incident and will have a biased view and in times to come for decision making, they might not make the wise choice. Making the wrong choice might affect many other people, not only one self.
Apart from that incident in Nepal, there was also censorship in the WW2. This was said by a person who experience censorship. He said, “I was attached to a group which carried out censorship duties during the war. This involved reading every letter which came into Northern Ireland. When the recipient of the letter received it, there may have been portions of text struck out, if it was felt that it contained some piece of information that would harm the war effort.”
Censorship can never be justified. Recipients have every right to know the whole content of the letter. They might be waiting anxious for the news of their loved ones who were involved with the war. Striking of the text will make them unclearly of the situation causing more anxiety.
22 Oct 2006
The archbishop of canterbury, Rowan Williams, has urged the government of China to end press censorship. On a visit to Beijing he said there should be free debate about issues such as the death penalty.
China should involved citizens in discussion as it is the citizen that makes up the country. Every citizen should have a say.
