Misleading Or False News Should Not Be Published, Warns Moi

In a statement to Al-Jarida daily, the Ministry of Information said it will not stand idly by while media outlets are publishing false or misleading news that may cause political instability in the country, and that it would take legal action against those outlets in accordance with the relevant laws. In a statement yesterday, ministry spokeswoman Anwar Murad confirmed that in response to the false and misleading news reports published by some media outlets, "there is no hesitation in enforcing the law with all firmness and severity against violators."

The Public Prosecution recently referred 62 media outlets for violations of the electronic media law. It advised everyone to verify the accuracy of the news, adhere to professional standards and controls, and to obtain information from reliable sources, explaining that if any violations occur, the ministry will take legal action to limit their publication.
