German Court Bans Cannibal Film Rohtenburg
am 04.03.2006 von http://lawjustice.blogspot.comA German court has forbidden the German-American film Rohtenburg about cannibalism. The court upheld a complaint from self-confessed cannibal Armin Meiwes. The film was due for release in Germany on 9 March. The court granted an interim measure, similar to a cease and desist order, (einstweilige Verfügung) on the basis that Meiwes personal right as an individual outweighed artistic freedom and that he should not become the object of a real horror film. The fact that he admitted to be a cannibal, and that the became known to the public as a cannibal, doesnt change this.For more on this story:- in English: Cannibal film banned in …
