Press Council takes stance on arrest of Mukhalifet newspaper editor and correspondent

He regretted that it happens when the draft law on defamation is often debated basing on recommendations of international organizations, Press Council and other journalist institutions, APA reports.

"Pres Council is doing its best to release the arrested journalists. Certainly, we express our position on the correspondents of Mukhalifet newspaper. It will be debated at the meeting of the Council and present the document to the relevant bodies. Arresting journalists for their expression is unacceptable," he said.
