Now Lebanon - Media Against Violence condemns banning of Iranian film - June 21, 2011

Media Against Violence issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the Lebanese General Security’s decision to ban the screening of the Iranian film "Green Days” because it deals with protests against the 2009 re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Lebanese authorities already banned the screening of "Green Days" at a festival last October that coincided with a visit to Beirut by Ahmadinejad.
After nearly five months of wrangling, Prime Minister Najib Mikati last week formed a government dominated by an alliance led by the Iranian- and Syrian-backed Hezbollah movement. The Saad Hariri-led March 14 alliance had announced it will not take part in the upcoming government.
