Pemra issues warning against criticism of Saudi Arabia with regards to Mina stampede

Share
In a statement issued directly to the top management of news channels through an SMS, Pemra said, “Some channels are airing programmes on Mina accident and indirectly [accusing] Saudi Arabia of mismanagement. They need to be reminded that Article 19 of the Constitution restricts comments that may affect relations with friendly countries.”
The electronic media regulator has also asked the owners and top management of media houses to look into the matter seriously.
Observers say this is the second time in five months that the government has intervened through the electronic media regulator to curb discussion with regards to Saudi Arabia.
