“Even in times of coup, citizens have access to newspapers just like bread.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Governorates made no statements to newspapers and citizens.

During this period, hundreds of thousands of newspapers published could not be distributed and press organizations suffered serious damage. If a precaution cannot be taken, the same loss will be repeated tomorrow and on other days of the decision.

We want the distribution of newspapers such as bread to be distributed on the dates when the curfew decision is taken. We call on the authorities to do this. ”

Blocking citizens’ right to news

The Press Council pointed out that since the newspapers published during the two-day curfew could not be distributed, the citizens’ right to receive information was prevented and the media organizations suffered serious damage.

The statement said: “The ban brought in an hour when newspapers were printed and distributed led to a huge loss of newspaper businesses.

The newspapers were trapped in bales in packages that could not be loosened. In fact, it should not be forgotten that the imprisoned is news.

We remind you that this victimization must be eliminated immediately.

We would like to consider that the newspaper sales places that can be kept open at certain intervals are excluded from this prohibition, and that the ways of public access to the newspaper are kept open. The irrational situation must be corrected. ”
