The Parliamentary Legal Approved Several Bills Including The Proposal To Amend P And P Law Among Several Bills Okayed

The parliamentary Legal and Legislative Affairs Committee on Tuesday approved several bills including the proposal to amend the Press and Publication Law (P&P Law). Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Committee Chairman MP Mohammed Al-Dalal disclosed the amendment bill stipulates that photos of the accused should be published only with the consent of the Attorney- General.

He enumerated other bills approved in the meeting as follows: benefits of assistant teachers, citizens who shoulder their own expenses for studying abroad, and adding a new article to the Prisons law stating that prisoners are obliged to participate in an integrated rehabilitation program to help them while they are serving their prison term.

He went on to say the committee rejected the proposal of MP Ahmed Nabil Al-Fadhel requiring plaintiffs in pressrelated cases to pay a guarantee of KD 500 before their complaint is taken into consideration, because it will deprive some people of the right to litigate. He added the committee postponed talks on the request of the Public Prosecution to lift the immunity oflaw Al-Fadel until they hear the latter’s opinion.
