BBC censored multiple calls for a ceasefire in Gaza from the Scottish Bafta Awards ceremony it emerged on Wednesday as the criticism hit social media.
According to the Scot National report, the winners and presenters used their appearances on stage to voice solidarity with Palestinians during the event in Glasgow on Sunday evening, however, their calls were noticed to be completely edited on the BBC iPlayer’s coverage.
Furthermore, one award presentation and speech by winners referencing calls for a ceasefire was completely removed from the ceremony coverage, while no other award was cut.
Director Eilidh Munro, awarded Best Short Film and Animation, urged guests to “put pressure on institutions and our government” and to “use your voice as filmmakers and artists.”
Director Munro expressed concern, highlighting the gravity of the humanitarian crisis in the region.
The speech was seen by viewers on the livestream produced by Bafta Scotland on Sunday and shared widely online but the entire award-giving has been removed from the BBC iPlayer’s edit.
Despite the speech being part of the Bafta Scotland livestream, the BBC iPlayer edit removed the entire award segment.
Colleague Finlay Pretsell displayed a poster saying, “I refuse to be silent. Ceasefire now.”
BBC’s decision to cut their call for peace, along with actor Amir El-Masry’s ceasefire appeal, emerged as shocking to many netizens.
