Xdiials, politicians, judges and soldiers ``don't want to give
up long-standing
privileges, which the law affords them.''
A judge ordered Matus's arrest in April after the confiscation
of all copies of her
research titled ``The Black Book of Chilean Justice,'' in which
she recounts cases
of corruption, nepotism and a lack of independence among judges,
especially
during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet.
Censorship of Matus's research was based on an antiquated law
concerning
Internal State Security, which protects members of the three
branches of
government from being defamed in the media.
Despite the existence of a formal democracy in Chile since 1990,
Matus said,
``There is no freedom of the press in Chile. What you have is
a well-established
self-imposed censorship, in which journalists know that there
are some things
about which they cannot write.'' EFE
