Cannibals have rights, too! Cannibal film banned in Germany.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A German court has banned the screening of a film based on the case of self-confessed cannibal Armin Meiwes.

The state court in Kassel upheld a complaint from Meiwes, 44, against the film Rohtenburg, which was due for release in Germany on 9 March.

The court ruled that Meiwes' rights as an individual outweighed artistic freedom and that he should not become the object of a horror film.

Meiwes, jailed for eight-and-a-half years in 2004, is facing a retrial.

He admitted that in March 2001 he killed a 43-year-old man and partially ate him. He was jailed for manslaughter.

Meiwes says he simply carried out a willing victim's instructions.

Well, they do have a valid point....I guess. Personally, I wouldn't see the movie anyway, so it doesn't even matter if it's allowed to be released or not

You know, that family is fighting to this day to have their name cleared. Apparently they didn't eat people, or it didn't happen like we think.
