http://www.smh.com.au/world/indonesia-t ... kgv0c.htmlJakarta: Indonesian officials have threatened to shut down Bali's prestigious international writers festival, compelling organisers to cancel sessions discussing the bloody massacre of alleged communists in 1965.

Re: Indonesia censors 50th anniversary massacre discussions
