Media warned over online video coverage from MPs
03 Oct 2017, 9:00 AM
TV stations have been warned against broadcasting footage live-streamed on social media by MPs who are inside the parliament chamber.
In a circular released Monday, the Broadcasting Commission of Maldives said such videos contained “obscene language and content contrary to standards of public decency”.
These contents also defamed members of parliament, the statement said.
The warning follows disruption and even brawls inside the chamber.
