Kuwait gets more liberal press law
Kuwait's parliament on Monday passed a new press law banning the imprisonment of journalists without a final court ruling and allowing new newspapers to publish for the first time in three decades. All 53 MPs present at a session of the house, including Cabinet ministers, voted in favour of the legislation, which was described by lawmakers as a key reform measure. Posted by: Fred 2006-03-07 |
