Kuwaiti Journalists call for protection of press from administrative intervention

The Kuwaiti Journalists Association emphasized the importance of not exposing publications which are constitutionally protected to administrative procedures to obstruct their work or stop their publication without a final judicial verdict based on the publication law (article 35).

The association renewed -- in a statement issued yesterday evening after an exceptional meeting in which it discussed the Kuwaiti Cabinet's decision to stop El-Seyasah newspaper from being issued for five days -- its demand for a comprehensive revision for the publication law based on modern and democratic bases and based on the Kuwaiti constitution.
