India blocks release of Da Vinci Code  

May. 16 (CWNews.com) - India's federal ministry for
information and broadcasting has halted the screening
of the controversial film The Da Vinci Code, which was
to be released on Friday. 

Although the Censor Board had cleared the film, the
federal ministry overruled that decision and announced
on May 16 that it would view the film with Christian
leaders before reaching a final on decision on
allowing the showing of the controversial movie. 

The government action follows strong protests by
Christian groups including the Catholic Bishops
Conference of India,, which demanded a ban on the
movie, saying that it "belittles what is at the heart
of Christian Faith and cherished in Christian Life."
