Indy Media Watch

An article on UK Indymedia is urging readers to make an Official Complaint to the BBC.

BBC news bulletins (News 24) in recent weeks have been reporting that President Ahmadinejad of Iran has stated that the "Holocaust is a myth".

In fact, he said, "If the Europeans are telling the truth in their claim that they have killed six million Jews in the Holocaust during the World War II - which seems they are right in their claim because they insist on it and arrest and imprison those who oppose it, why the Palestinian nation should pay for the crime. Why have they come to the very heart of the Islamic world and are committing crimes against the dear Palestine using their bombs, rockets, missiles and sanctions."

Please correct your future news bulletins and apologize for your past mistakes which my (sic) lead to a terrorist attack on Iran by Israel or the US.

Ahmadinejad actually said, on live television:

"They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets," he said.

This translation was reported by the BBC and numerous other verifiable sources. As bad as the BBC might be, it is actually amusing, that Indymedia would presume to preach to them.
