>BRAZIL: MORE THAN 300 COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS SHUT DOWN
>
>The Brazilian Ministry of Communication ordered the closure of
>more than 300 community radio stations and the confiscation of
>their equipment last month, reports the World Association of
>Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC). The action was taken during
>negotiations between the Ministry and the Forum for the
>Democratization of Communication, which aim to study "the legal
>standing of community radio in Brazil." AMARC says, "The Forum
>had proposed as a priority the establishment of rules and
>regulations that would legally enable community radio stations to
>carry out their social and educational objectives."
>
>According to the Pulsar news service, Minister of Social
>Communication Sergio Motta said "he would submit a bill to
>Congress to regulate so-called `free radio stations' which have
>been operating in the country for the past several years." He
>also reportedly said that the 300 stations will remain closed
>"until the current legislation is changed." Pulsar reports,
>"Representatives of the free radio stations were surprised by the
>minister's move, and fear that he was reacting to pressure from
>the owners of large media networks." In a letter to the Minister,
>AMARC suggests that "instead of using force, the minister should
>help provide Brazil with a law that is respectful of these radio
>stations, which promote democracy and development."
