The Prime Minister of Tripoli-based Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, has given instructions to his ministers to prevent conferences or meetings with media representatives from taking place without his permission. The announcement was made in a Dbeibeh’s letter to the Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, Adel Jumaa. In the letter, the 63-year-old premier pointed out that these instructions come after some ministers have released statements to the press relating to the work of the government and their departments, providing journalists with sensitive information and data. Dbeibeh stated the executive decree is in force to prevent the circulation of data and information relating to the activity of the government or their disclosure except to the “supervisory authorities.”According to him, those who violate his decree will be subject to legal liability.
