MASSIMO COSTA
THE decision to censor Moviment
Graffitti activists wearing masks de-
picting Ian Borg was "stupid", the
Prime Minister said.
Joseph Muscat, noting that the Uni-
versity enjoyed complete autonomy,
insisted that his government was
against any kind of censorship.
Muscat, who was fielding questions
from journalists on the back of a visit
to the University on Tuesday dur-
ing Freshers' Week, said freedom of
expression was an integral part of an
institution of higher education.
He was reacting to an incident on
Monday, when students from Graf-
fitti, who were going around campus
wearing masks depicting the Trans-
port Minister, were approached
by security, who confiscated their
masks, saying it was not allowed to
stir political contro-
versy during Freshers'
Week.
