Press Syndicate Chief: House Deceived
The Press and Journalists’ Unions have concluded that the recently enacted Media Law did not implement the amendments they agreed upon in a previous meeting with representatives. The aim of that meeting was to amend the law and protect the journalism profession. Although the proposed modifications—such as removing criminal penalties, clarifying the Media Authority’s powers, and safeguarding electronic media outlets—were documented and approved by the participating MPs, the final version of the law was issued without incorporating these changes. This was seen as a deception towards the representation of the press. The unions affirmed that the fight to defend journalists’ rights and media freedom will not cease and that they will confront this deception until the end to ensure media independence and journalists’ rights.
