Cabildo, se nos intimó a velar la totalidad de la pelicula fotográfica o a acompañarlos a la comisaría.

Description of Incident: In the early part of Kyoden's career, the censorship laws were not strictly enforced. He wrote many political satires at this time, including one about the fictional assassination attempt of the head of the Bakufu. In 1789 he was fined for including illustrations with this work.

By 1791, a new head of the Bakufu had taken over and censorship became tight. Three of Kyoden's sharebon were banned and he was forced to admit he wrote "Depraved books."

Results of Incident: Since these works are not particularly objectionable, it has been suggested that Kyoden was chosen for punishment for being a persistent offender or to punish him for his earlier works.

Description of Incident: While there is no one specific incident of the play's banning that stands out, it has been cut and pulled many times for bringing up the issue of tyrannicide. Even in the play's first performance, the entire fifth act needed to be cut because the tsar's daughter was in the audience and could not witness an emperors assassination. The King of Prussia had the play banned because the hero was "unsympathetic." The Nazis later praised the play as a symbol of German national identity, but had it banned in 1941, when Hitler became more paranoid.

Results of Incident: The play continued to be banned by politicians or governments that found it dangerous. In 1989 it was banned in East Germany, but was reinstated when the regime fell.

One example is "Boom Bye Bye," by Banton, which features sounds of gunfire "in a batty-boy's head" - "batty-boy" being Jamaican patois for "faggot" - and says of any "batty-boy," "burn him up bad like an old tire wheel."

Bounty Killa is also known for frequently promoting anti-gay violence with lyrics like, "Bun a fire pon a puff and mister fagoty" ("Burn a fire on puffs and faggots")

Description of Incident: Bounty Killa and Banton were part of a lineup for a reggae festival to take place on Randall's Island in New York City. When gay right activist, Mark Milano, found out they would be performing, he summoned the Queer Justice League to make sure they would be stopped. The organization, along with the Stop Murder Music Campaign contacted Alfonso Brooks of Team Legendary (Who would be staging the event). Brooks made a commitment to make the artists sign the Reggae Compassionate Act (RCA), a document by which other artists have pledged to refrain from making homophobic statements in public, releasing new homophobic songs, or authorizing the re-release of previously-recorded hate-gays music.

Results of Incident: Both artists refused to sign the RCA. Brooks said that it is unlikely they will be jettisoned from the show because they have already been paid. However, their contract prohibits them from performing any hate songs at this festival, but for Milano this is not enough. He threatens that if they do not sign or get kicked from the lineup, the league will protest at the concert.

Description of Incident: Mroue had tried to avoid censors since 1990 by simply avoiding them. However, in 2005, he ran into trouble with the Interior Ministry over one of his pieces and was forced to censor parts of it. Since then, performance spaces have been demanding pieces to be checked by censors. In the case of "Nancy," Mroue took his chances with the censors and found it completely banned, without the option of cuts.

Mroue believes the reason for the ban stems from the fact that although there is no fighting, Lebanon is on the brink of another civil war.

Results of Incident: Mroue will still preform "Nancy" in other countries.

Description of Incident: The four drawings with full frontal nudity were pulled from the exhibit without the artist's attention.

Results of Incident: Lambert was not told the exact reason for the art being pulled. She assumes that they ere worried about offending parents taking their children to the coffee shop next door. She says that if she knew they would pull those pieces, she would not have allowed them to have an exhibit of her art at all. These works have been shown around the UK since 2001 and have been viewed by many children as well.

The Fermanagh District Council has not commented.

Description of Incident: taken down by swindon theatre galle4ry because they believed teh drawings might cause offense to family to durring pantomine season

Results of Incident: local newspaper swindon evening advertiser ran a story on yhe 15th december 2001 regarding the incident. drawings were replacer whith work by other artist which happened to depict female torsos

This leads to a hot and spicy atmosphere that sometimes has motivated the two performers and some of the crowd to experience disorderly conduct, like taking off their clothes completely while playing and dancing, zooming the attendants into a deep and full flavored rhythm vibe.

The band members are Rigo Pex, who plays direct gameboy reggaetón and electro-dancehall, produced on stage with vocoders, keytars and lo-fi toys. Along comes VJ Fruity Booty Liger with a visual mission to flash your eyes with his made-to-measure vjing application that's been the envy of many on several video art festivals.

Description of Incident: In the night of Friday the 10th of august, the Microdisko crew, one of the leading 8bit music and chiptune collectives in the world, organized one of their monthly concert parties in the K2 Club, a small venue located in Götgatan, 99. Around 1:00 am the presentation of Gothenburg's artist Goto80 along Raquel Meyers of Bilbo's Entter in visuals ended; now it was the turn of Barcelona's MENEO, also being paired with a member of Entter at the visuals: Raúl.

Although there was no audio monitor, the latin rhythms and blips lead to a hot and funky atmosphere that motivated the two performers on stage to take off their clothes completely while playing and dancing. However, the security of the club stopped the music arguing that it was improper conduct and forced them to dress back in order to continue the show. The crowd was patient and welcomed back the act that played again; some fans took off their shirts in sign of support and these got the bouncers from the club to get nervous and once again removed the members of MENEO from the stage. The artists promised not to provoke these kinds of reactions in the audience and renew their performance, which was halted for the 3rd time by the security guards who this time alleged drunken behavior. It was now really over and most of the attendees went out to talk to the band. In this moment the manager of the club head banged a guy from the public that had demonstrated its support, and if it wasn't for Goto80 and his crew who formed a human barrier he could have taken some more.

Also in site was Palle Torsson, an enthusiast of 8bit sound that has also had some problems with legality in his art, since he used to project visuals in his buttocks. He called the police and they told him that it was the club's decision and they couldn't do anything about it.

Results of Incident: At the end, the club also wanted to charge a special fee of 200 Euro approx. accounting as damages to their reputation by having such a disappointing event. They didn't collect it, but kept half of the ticket entrance that corresponded to the Microdisko organizers.

Description of Incident: The case first arose when the archbishop complained about the passage, saying it would cause offence to most Finns. Articles for and against the archbishop soon arose and led to the book seeing increased attention.

In 1965, a case was brought up against Salama. He became impatient with the trial and wrote a letter to the judge claiming that the passage was indeed meant to hurt religious feelings. He explained he wanted to "force the system to carry out its task unveiled, revealed all its narrow mindedness, its hate and its backwardness."

Results of Incident: Salama was sentenced to three months in prison to be followed by probation. The remaining copies of the book were burned and ordered not to be reprinted until the passages were deleted.

Soon afterward, the Blasphemy Act, which Salama was punished under, was repealed in Finland.

Description of Incident: Israeli censorship laws placed Said's titles on a list of prohibited books as they were seen as threats to "public order." He has been dubbed a "Professor of Terror" and dangerous to Israel.

Although he worked closely with Said, Yasser Arafat also had some of his essays confiscated for being critical of agreements Arafat made with Israel.

Results of Incident: Said died in 2003, but remains a controversial figure over his stance on the conflicts in Israel and his criticism of US involvement in the Middle East.

Description of Incident: Sade had been arrested several times before getting into trouble over his writing. These incidents were often sexual themselves and this history, along with the emergence of "Justine" led authorities to crack down on him. In 1973 he was arrested and his publisher was executed.

Sade's writing had disappeared to the underground, but when Napoleon reached power in 1801, they were repressed further and Sade was imprisoned again without a trial.

Results of Incident: His works remained under the radar until 1909, when his work came back into publishing. Even in modern times it continued to be censored. In 1956, a French publisher was put on trial on the grounds that "Juliette" was an "affront to public decency." In 1965, the book was rejected for publishing in Britain due to it being read by the culprit in a case of murders of children.

Description of Incident: In 1938, the U.S. Government banned Henry Millers novel Tropic of Cancer, saying it dealt too explicitly with his sexual adventures and challenged models of sexual morality. To further drive the point home, the government went on to ban all of Millers works from entering the United States.

Results of Incident: In 1961 the US ban on Henry Miller's novels was finally lifted, but the controversy surrounding his books (in particular "Tropic of Cancer") continued. "Tropic of Cancer" was still labeled as "obscene" by the US government and nationwide there were attempts to stop the sale of Miller's novel. In the fall of 1961, police officials in the Chicago area systematically intimidated bookstores who sold the "Tropic of Cancer", making several arrests. The book's publisher, Grove Press, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit arguing it is illegal for officials to interfere with the sale of the novel. During the first year of publication Grove Press spent more than $100,000 fighting 60 cases nationwide. It was not until 1964 that the US Supreme Court finally declared "Tropic of Cancer" not to be obscene and its sale protected by the US constitution.
