- Bahrain: Tuesday, September 11 - 2012 at 12:24
The Bahraini ministry of interior has said it would crack down on offences and smear campaigns targeting national and public figures on social media networks, Gulf News has reported. The decision follows complaints by prominent figures, demanding an end to the targeting of their character and their families and a protection of social traditions and customs. "We have noted an increase in the use of modern communication means to defame and insult national icons and public figures from all segments," the acting general director for combatting corruption and electronic and economic crimes said. "Such activities are considered crimes and as such warrant legal action."
