No employment ban for WDR-journalists

This petition was published by Gerhard Wisnewski on Oct 29, 2003

Dear Mr. Pleitgen:

On June 20, 2003, the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) broadcast "Aktenzeichen 11.9. ungelöst" [File 9/11 Unsolved], a documentary by German filmmakers Willy Brunner and Gerhard Wisnewski. The film dealt critically with the attacks on September 11, 2001. However, after broadcasting the documentary, the WDR suddenly imposed an employment ban on the filmmakers.

We, the undersigned, have carefully informed ourselves about this matter, in particular from a comprehensive article in Telepolis e-zine, dated October 26, 2003
(http://www.heise.de/tp/deutsch/inhalt/co/15909/1.html) and from other sources..

We, the undersigned, hereby declare that the reasons for the employment ban imposed on the filmmakers Willy Brunner and Gerhard Wisnewski are not sound.

We, the undersigned, ask you to:

Stand by your own critical films and protect freedom of speech!

Lift the employment ban imposed on the filmmakers Brunner and Wisnewski!

Sincerely,
The Undersigned
