You make it sound so innocuous. Restrained or not, the law that bans political films is draconian and unjust and people carrying out such laws deserve all our scorn. And don't be naive by being so surprised the cops 'selectively' stopped a film dinner party. It is necessary to harass and strike fear into people so that there won't be many more such films and dissidents popping up. Law selectively used? You make it sound so innocuous.

Thanks for sharing a comment. I would want to reply to you, but I feel I better get my definitions of private/public functions nailed down first. hello roderick. Thanks for sharing a comment.

The function was private in as far as publicity and ticketing went - guests/attendees were required to pay a fee by buying an actual printed ticket, which they had to show to ushers/door staff volunteers. This included a buffet lunch. "Preaching to the choir"? That may be so. But the choir is growing. I know, because I was there. regards.

Anyway, I don't support what the officials did. But I understand why they do what they do. The problem is the little piece of legislation we have and the way it is enforced. Anyway, don't be naive. The function was never supposed to be private. Don’t give THEM ideas please.
