Code of Ethics

Guys I guess I made it clear that I was against the imprisonment of Firas Hatoum so take it easy! Still the guy violated something called the "code of ethics" for journalism... and this is much more serious then braking the law! For those who are not familiar with the journalistic code of ethics please read the following:

The last updated version of 20 June 2001 contains 16 rules/journalistic principles and several guidelines for journalistic work. Summarized the 16 principles imply

1. respect for the truth,
   
2. observance of human rights,
   
3. due to accuracy,
   
4. correction of incorrect news,
   
5. dismission of dishonest methods,
   
6. to stick to agreed confidentiality,
   
7. to preserve the prestige and credibility of the media,
   
8. no mixture with personal commercial interests,
   
9. respect for private life,
   
10. not to publish unfounded claims,
    
11. no inappropriately portrayal of violence and brutality,
    
12. prohibition of discrimination,
    
13. reporting investigations and criminal court proceedings without prejudices,
    
14. to report about medical subjects without inappropriately sensationalism,
    
15. prohibition to accept bribes and benefits,
    
16. to publish public reprimands of the Press Council

If anyone can convince me that Hatoum did not violate any of these codes, then i will apologize and stand corrected, but till then... guilty as charged
