Gudaibia Palace: The Cabinet on Monday approved the suspension on Al Arab TV Channel citing cogent reasons.
The cabinet approved a recommendation by the High Authority for Information and Communication (HAIC) on the suspension of Al-Arab Satellite TV channel, in line with the reasons provided by HAIC and presented by the Minister of Information Affairs.
“The channel had not obtained the required licences. It did not meet the necessary technical and administrative requirements before starting to broadcast in Bahrain,” the memo said.
