Maharat Foundation on
Wednesday condemned the draft law on online media submitted to the cabinet by
Information Minister Walid al-Daouq.
“The draft law will be
discussed in cabinet without taking the opinion of the parties competent of
organizing the media or taking in consideration the opinion of the experts in
the field,” the statement issued by Maharat said.
It also said that “the
draft law contains loose expressions that are defined with an unprofessional
and inconsistent manner… which can cause ambiguity and puts [at risk] the
freedom of media.”
It also said that the
obliging websites to obtain a permit “can limit the freedom of online
communication.”
