Lebanese Ministry of Information
Minister of Information, Dr. Manal Abdel Samad Najd, on Friday said via Twitter: “In order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, I firmly believe that media freedom is sacred and must always be guaranteed. I also believe that the media professional is not a criminal and that he should not be imprisoned in the course of his media work. We have been working for some time on amendments that would prevent the trial of journalists before Lebanese courts, except in specific cases such as murder or violation of the rights and honor of others.
