MUMBAI: Members of two Michael Jackson campaign groups - MJ Justice Project and MJ Children have urged other Jackson fans to contact the people at the Discovery Channel to voice their displeasure about the airing of Autopsy that is said to be based on the official coroner‘s report and court documents taken after Jacko‘s death in 2009.

The show will follow a pathologist as he performs a full autopsy on a synthetic cadaver and exposes the "medical myths that surrounded Jackson throughout his troubled life, his drug addiction, his vitiligo and other disorders", says a website.

The petition states, "We ask the directors of the Discovery Channel programming to proceed with the outright cancellation of this indecent documentary."

The programme is due to air in Britain on 13 January.
