Media watchdog: Al Jazeera targeted in Gulf crisis

Al Jazeera  

Reporters Without Borders condemns countries for shutting down offices of the Doha-based media network. Reporters Without Borders condemned Arab countries for targeting the Al Jazeera Media Network, saying the broadcaster was a “collateral victim of diplomatic offensive against Qatar”. The media rights group slammed Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for closing Al Jazeera’s office in Riyadh and revoking its operating licence. “Closing Al Jazeera’s bureaux is a political decision that amounts to censoring this TV broadcaster,” Alexandra El Khazen, the head of the group’s Middle East desk, said in a statement. The decision to close Al Jazeera’s office in the Saudi capital came hours after Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates on Monday announced they were severing all ties with Qatar over its alleged support of “extremism”.
