On 14 December 1988, 4ZZZ was taken off air and forcibly evicted from its UQ premises by the then student union executive, headed by one Victoria Brazil. The move prompted many previously apolitical students to take a firm stand against the move and to rally support for the station. While Zed was not to return to the premises its' volunteers had helped hand-build, unprecedented community support saw the station live to fight another day.
Actor imprisoned for "defaming Islam"
Adel Imam, one of the Arab world’s most famous actors, has been sentenced to 3 months in jail with hard labour for ‘defaming Islam’ in several of his stage and screen roles.
Imam, a UN goodwill ambassador, has stated he will appeal the decision.
"All the works in which I have starred went through the censors," he said.
"Had they been found to be defamatory, the censors would have banned them.'
