Santiago de Chile, November 25 (RHC)-- The Court of Appeals of Santiago de Chile rejected Friday the appeal for protection filed by a Zionist entity, on behalf of the local Jewish community, against Roger Waters to try to censor his actions or words during the two concerts he will offer this weekend in that capital.

According to the court, the appeal filed by attorney Ariela Agosin, representing the Representative Committee of Jewish Entities in Chile (CJCh), is not admissible because "in the presentation made in these proceedings no facts have been mentioned that could constitute a violation of the constitutional guarantees indicated in Article 20 of the Political Constitution of the Republic".

The Zionist legal action also pointed to the responsibility of the production company DG Medios, which is organizing a sold-out event that will bring together thousands of people.

In its brief, the CJCh argued that the Pink Floyd frontman has "a well-known history" of what they call "Judeophobic" statements that could constitute a crime of "incitement to hatred" and includes links to reports, information and photographs from past concerts.

In reality, Waters has only historically denounced the Zionist escalation against the occupied Palestinian territories and, in the last month and a half, the siege against the Gaza Strip.

"Following the background the CJCh seeks to have him banned at his concert from using elements or uttering comments that incite hatred and anti-Semitism," it noted.  However, the Zionist legal attempt was denounced by a collective of more than 60 Chilean artists, who on Thursday had asked the court not to admit for processing an appeal "that went back to the dark times of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet."

In this complaint, the 66 signatories argue that "the aforementioned action, beyond its rhetorical grounds, seeks to censure in advance the criticism of the murder of children, the bombing of refugee camps, hospitals, the murder of UN officials, among other crimes committed by the government led by the ultra-right-wing Benjamin Netanyahu, and is similar to the repression of freedoms that Pinochet restricted."

They also stated that "this action has been criticized by many governments, diverse and impartial international organizations, artists, politicians and intellectuals from all over the world, both for its indiscriminate and disproportionate deployment of force, as well as for the costs it is entailing for the innocent civilian population. It is, therefore, an action aimed at silencing well-founded criticism based on International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, with objectives that are not for protection but for manipulation, intimidation and propaganda", they added.

The Zionist escalation against the Gaza Strip, denounced by Roger Waters, has left almost 15,000 Palestinians killed, a third of them children.
