Lifting the veil on the bloodbath is long overdue, but those with a past to hide seem bound to resist this. Organizers of Bali’s renowned Ubud Writers and Readers Festival have just had a foretaste of what may be a new round of active censorship, with local officials threatening to cancel the entire festival if proposed panel discussions of the massacres went ahead.
这次大屠杀的元凶迟迟没有纠出，但那些有见不得人历史的人似乎注定要抗拒这一点。巴厘岛著名的乌布德作家和读者节（Ubud Writers and Readers Festival）刚刚预示了新一轮活跃审查，地方官员威胁说，如果计划中的大屠杀专家讨论活动按计划执行的话，就要取消整个活动。
