Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to request a copy of the Balen report on the
possibility of an anti-Israel bias in BBC Journalism. The BBC's
charter states that the BBC has a duty to provide "accurate and
impartial news". If there is an anti-israel bias in BBC journalism,
then the Corporation has failed in this duty. It is, therefore, in
the public interest to have the contents of the report shared and
examined independently.

Yours faithfully,

Christian Nerdrum
