Lebanese Censors Close Book Store
Al Anwar
January 7, 2001
Hundreds of CDs and DVDs were seized at the Virgin Megastore record
and multi-media centre by the censorship division of the Lebanese
security services, the Beirut store's management said Sunday.
The censors said the items seized on Saturday were either morally
unsuitable, contravened the boycott of Israel, or incited violence
amongst young people, the management said.
More than 600 discs were seized, the general security services said in
a statement. They were all illegal goods as "their taxes had not been
paid, and they were being sold without a licence."
It said that some of the products "undermined religions, contravened
good morals and Israeli boycott laws, or included texts inciting young
people to commit suicide," which was in violation of court decisions.
The case has been referred to legal authorities, added the statement
released on the official ANI news agency.
The move was criticised in the press by MP Boutros Harb, who said
Lebanon "was increasingly becoming a police state."
Virgin Megastore in Beirut, which takes up four storeys of a renovated
baroque building from the 1920s, was opened in style early last year
by Virgin boss Richard Branson and Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq
Hariri.
