Manama: A court in Kuwait on Sunday suspended two national newspapers for two weeks after they breached a gag ordered by the public prosecutor on publishing information in a highly controversial leaked tape.
The suspension occurred days after the information ministry warned that it would temporarily shut down the Al Watan and Alem Al Youm for not complying with the gag.
Al Watan on its website said there have been reports about the suspension, but it did not receive a formal notice.
Both dailies on Sunday published articles and views by several lawmakers opposing the idea of suspending newspapers for publishing articles.
