\tDiversas manifestaciones y protestas han tenido lugar en Santiago para pedir que se rechace de forma definitiva la llamada \u201cLey Hinzpeter\u201d, en nombre del Ministro del Interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\tEsto, despu\u00e9s de que \u00e9ste anunciara, el 18 de enero de 2012, su intenci\u00f3n de retirar una norma del muy pol\u00e9mico proyecto de ley. \u201cSe dieron instrucciones al Congreso para que no se aprobara\u201d, nos confirm\u00f3 con satisfacci\u00f3n Mauricio Weibel, presidente de la Uni\u00f3n Sudamericana de Corresponsales.<\/p>\n
\tEste texto de iniciativa gubernamental, enviado al Parlamento el 1 de octubre de 2011, criminaliza la expresi\u00f3n p\u00fablica en el contexto de las manifestaciones estudiantiles. Adem\u00e1s, incluye un apartado que prev\u00e9 \u201cotorgar una nueva facultad a las fuerzas del orden y de seguridad, con el fin de que puedan solicitar la entrega voluntaria de im\u00e1genes, voces o sonidos que se hayan tomado, captado o registrado y que puedan servir para esclarecer un delito o la participaci\u00f3n en \u00e9l, sin una orden previa del fiscal\u201d (http:\/\/es.rsf.org\/chile-un-proyecto-de-reforma-del-codigo-06-10-2011,41138.html).<\/p>\n
\t\u201cCon la \u2018Ley Hinzpeter\u2019 se corr\u00eda el riesgo real de que los periodistas se volvieran auxiliares de la polic\u00eda, en contra de los principios constitucionales en materia de libertad de expresi\u00f3n y de informaci\u00f3n. Si bien celebramos el anuncio de que se retire esta cl\u00e1usula del proyecto de ley, el texto sigue en manos del Congreso. Por el periodo vacacional de verano se aplaz\u00f3 hasta el mes de marzo su examen \u2013y esperamos, su rechazo\u2013 por parte de la C\u00e1mara de Diputados y despu\u00e9s del Senado. Es urgente que se ponga fin a este proyecto inoportuno y peligroso\u201d, declar\u00f3 Reporteros sin Fronteras, que desea que pronto se acoja de manera favorable la carta que el Colegio de Periodistas de Chile envi\u00f3 a los diputados (http:\/\/www.colegiodeperiodistas.cl\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/2-uncategorised\/158).<\/p>\n
\tEl retiro previsto de esta cl\u00e1usula de la \u201cLey Hinzpeter\u201d constituye un s\u00edmbolo alentador al final de un a\u00f1o dif\u00edcil para los periodistas chilenos y extranjeros que trabajan en el pa\u00eds, testigos a menudo reprimidos en numerosas manifestaciones, no s\u00f3lo estudiantiles (http:\/\/es.rsf.org\/chile-denuncian-los-ataques-de-las-18-10-2011,41232.html). Adem\u00e1s de las garant\u00edas necesarias para su seguridad, Reporteros sin Fronteras sigue pidiendo que se realice un debate a fondo sobre un asunto puesto de manifiesto en las protestas: el pluralismo informativo en Chile y el marco legal que debe hacerlo posible (http:\/\/es.rsf.org\/chile-una-burbuja-mediatica-estremecida-17-08-2011,40800.html). Este reto incluye una verdadera reforma de la legislaci\u00f3n de radios y medios de comunicaci\u00f3n comunitarios.

\tGovernment scraps plan to force journalists to inform police<\/p>\n
\tThanks to a wave of demonstrations and protests in Santiago the government has abandoned plans to force journalists to hand over images to police under controversial new legislation sponsored by interior minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter, who announced on 18 January that he would withdraw that section of the bill.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cCongress has been instructed not to approve it,\u201d Mauricio Weibel, president of the association of foreign correspondents in Chile, confirmed to Reporters Without Borders.
\tThe bill, known as the \u201cHinzpeter Law\u201d, was submitted to Congress on 1 October last year in response to student protests. As originally drafted, it contained provisions to criminalize expressions of opinion, and to grant \u201ca new power for the law enforcement and security forces, under which they can request the voluntary transmission of recordings, film or other electronic media material that may serve to substantiate the existence of crimes or participation in crimes, without a prior order from the state prosecutor\u201d. (http:\/\/en.rsf.org\/chile-bill-would-criminalize-protests-06-10-2011,41137.html)<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWith the \u2018Hinzpeter Law\u2019, there was a real risk of seeing journalists become accessories to the police, in contravention of constitutional principles concerning freedom of expression and information,\u201d Reporters Without Borders said.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWhile we welcome the news that this section has been withdrawn, the bill is still in the hands of Congress. The summer holiday period means its discussion \u2013 and, we hope, rejection \u2013 by the lower house and the Senate has been postponed until March.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cThis inappropriate and dangerous legislation must be scrapped as a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tReporters Without Borders hopes that a letter on the subject sent to members of Congress by the Chilean College of Journalists will be favourably received. (http:\/\/www.colegiodeperiodistas.cl\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/2-uncategorised\/158)<\/p>\n
\tThe scheduled withdrawal of this section of the \u201cHinzpeter Law\u201d is an encouraging symbol at the end of what has been a difficult year for Chilean and foreign journalists in the country, who have often been abused for reporting on many demonstrations in the country, not just those by students. (http:\/\/en.rsf.org\/chile-more-media-freedom-violations-18-10-2011,41233.html)<\/p>\n
\tBesides calling for steps to be taken to guarantee their security, Reporters Without Borders continues to press for a full debate, a subject first raised during the demonstrations, on media pluralism in Chile and the legal framework that would make this possible.<\/p>\n
\t(http:\/\/en.rsf.org\/chile-citizen-activism-challenges-17-08-2011,40799.html).<\/p>\n
\tAlso at issue is the need to overhaul the legislation on community media and radio stations.<\/p>\n

\tLe gouvernement retire un volet l\u00e9gislatif dangereux pour les journalistes : \u201cle Congr\u00e8s doit suivre rapidement\u201d<\/p>\n
\tManifestations et protestations se sont succ\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Santiago pour r\u00e9clamer l\u2019abandon d\u00e9finitif de la \u201cloi Hinzpeter\u201d, du nom du ministre de l\u2019Int\u00e9rieur Rodrigo Hinzpeter, apr\u00e8s que celui-ci a annonc\u00e9, le 18 janvier 2012, son intention de retirer une partie de son tr\u00e8s pol\u00e9mique projet de l\u00e9gislation. \u201cInstruction a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9e au Congr\u00e8s de ne pas l\u2019approuver\u201d, nous a confirm\u00e9 avec satisfaction Mauricio Weibel, pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Union sud-am\u00e9ricaines des correspondants.<\/p>\n
\tTransmis par le gouvernement au Congr\u00e8s le 1er octobre 2011, le texte, criminalisant l\u2019expression publique dans le contexte des manifestations \u00e9tudiantes, pr\u00e9voyait \u201cd\u2019incorporer une nouvelle facult\u00e9 pour les forces de l\u2019ordre et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, afin qu\u2019elles puissent solliciter la transmission volontaire d\u2019enregistrements, films et autres supports \u00e9lectroniques qui peuvent servir pour accr\u00e9diter l\u2019existence de d\u00e9lits ou la participation \u00e0 ceux-ci, sans ordre pr\u00e9alable du procureur\u201d (http:\/\/fr.rsf.org\/chili-un-projet-de-reforme-du-code-penal-06-10-2011,41136.html).<\/p>\n
\t\u201cAvec la \u2018loi Hinzpeter\u2019 pesait le risque r\u00e9el de voir les journalistes convertis en auxiliaire de police, contre les principes constitutionnels en mati\u00e8re de libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression et d\u2019information. Si nous nous f\u00e9licitons de l\u2019annonce du retrait de cet aspect du texte, celui-ci n\u2019en demeure pas moins entre les mains du Congr\u00e8s. La p\u00e9riode de vacances d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 reporte au mois de mars son examen \u2013 et esp\u00e9rons-le, son rejet – par la Chambre des d\u00e9put\u00e9s puis le S\u00e9nat. Il y a urgence \u00e0 en finir avec ce projet de loi inopportun et dangereux dans son ensemble\u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Reporters sans fronti\u00e8res qui souhaite un accueil favorable \u00e0 la lettre aussit\u00f4t envoy\u00e9e aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s par le Coll\u00e8ge des journalistes du Chili<\/p>\n
\t(http:\/\/www.colegiodeperiodistas.cl\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/2-uncategorised\/158).<\/p>\n
\tLe retrait programm\u00e9 de ce volet de la \u201cloi Hinzpeter\u201d constitue un symbole encourageant au terme d\u2019une ann\u00e9e difficile pour les journalistes chiliens et \u00e9trangers pr\u00e9sents dans le pays, t\u00e9moins souvent r\u00e9prim\u00e9s de nombreuses manifestations, pas seulement \u00e9tudiantes (http:\/\/fr.rsf.org\/chili-les-atteintes-des-forces-de-l-18-10-2011,41231.html). Au-del\u00e0 des garanties n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 leur s\u00e9curit\u00e9, Reporters sans fronti\u00e8res continue de r\u00e9clamer un d\u00e9bat de fond, soulev\u00e9 lors des manifestations, sur le pluralisme informatif au Chili et le cadre l\u00e9gal qui doit le rendre possible (http:\/\/fr.rsf.org\/chili-une-bulle-mediatique-ebranlee-par-17-08-2011,40798.html). Cet enjeu inclut notamment une v\u00e9ritable refonte de la l\u00e9gislation sur les radios et m\u00e9dias communautaires.<\/p>\n
