The
Indonesian Embassy condemns the recent offensive cartoons,
printed in the daily Rakyat Merdeka on Monday, 27 March
2006 and on today’s edition of The Weekend
Australian.
The
Indonesian Embassy views these cartoons as malicious,
tasteless and considers it to be detrimental in the effort
to improve the relationship between Indonesia and
Australia.
While
acknowledging freedom of the media in Indonesia and
Australia to publish materials and respects its
independence without interference from governments,
the Indonesian Embassy believes there is a
responsibility from the media to be sensitive and
attentive of the consequences of their actions.
