The Television & Entertainment Licensing Authority has asked the Obscene Articles Tribunal to review the classification of recent issues of Next Magazine and Oriental Sunday which published nude photos of local entertainers.
The tribunal classified the supplement of Next Magazine Issue 936 and the cover and inside pages of Oriental Sunday Issue 531 as Class-I Articles, which are neither obscene nor indecent.
However, the authority said the classifications should be reviewed at a full public hearing. Given the extensive public concern on the celebrity photo incident, a full hearing will give the public a clearer understanding of the tribunal's classification standards.
