Karl Schembri (born in 1978 in Malta) is a Maltese writer and journalist. Schembri is the Deputy Editor of ''Malta Today''. He started working in journalism with ''In-Nazzjon'' and ''Il-Mument'' in 1995, moving on to Bay Radio, ''The Malta Independent'', ''The Malta Independent on Sunday'' and, since 2004, with ''Malta Today''. ==Career== Schembri's investigative journalism led to the clampdown on the trading of ancient Mesopotamian artefacts from Iraq on eBay via Malta, the first ever exposure of rampant child rape by Catholic priests in a children's institution, fraudulent faith healers, and the serious security lapses at Malta's world heritage and fine arts museums from where priceless pieces have been stolen. In an April 2006 investigation, Schembri revealed internal armed forces communications logs showing that Maltese army rescuers were given orders to “keep at a distance” from a boat carrying 200 migrants in gale-force winds, hours before 9 of them drowned and at least 20 went missing in a shipwreck off the coast of Sicily.〔http://archive.maltatoday.com.mt/2006/04/16/top_story.html 〕 He has reported extensively from Libya, Kosovo, Albania, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and won the 2000 Malta press award for his reporting. He also contributes to ''The Sunday Telegraph,'' Russian ''Newsweek'' and ''The Guardian Weekly'' and is the founding chairman of The Journalists' Committee. A sociology graduate from the University of Malta, he has written two novels, ''Taħt il-Kappa tax-Xemx'' in 2002 and ''Il-manifest tal-killer'' in 2006. He is also the co-author of the anthology of poems ''Frekwenzi ta' Spriti fis-Sakra'' (1997) and co-editor with fellow author Adrian Grima of ''Id-Demm Nieżel bħax-Xita'' (2009) - an anthology of poems in solidarity with Palestinians published during the 22-day war on Gaza.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muzajk - Antoine Cassar )〕 ''Il-manifest tal-killer'' was censored by the University of Malta's radio station, Campus FM, after the management learnt that it was going to be read in the literary programme series Wara Arrigo in January 2007. An adaptation by Bryan Muscat was staged in October 2008 by Lemonhead Productions. Fellow Maltese writer and critic Mario Azzopardi (born in 1944 in Ħamrun Malta) describes Schembri as "a pioneer in his generation that has assaulted his nation that is lubricated on hypocrisy, nepotism and corruption." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karl Schembri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
