The Kuwaiti Ministry of Information referred 38 media outlets to the Public Prosecution for violating the terms and conditions for covering the National Assembly elections.

Legislative elections for the new National Assembly are scheduled for September 29, weeks following the Emiri decree to dissolve the parliament.

Registration of candidates will continue until September 7.

The Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Lafi al-Subaie, said that 38 media outlets were referred to the Public Prosecution for violating the coverage regulation.

Subaie said in a press statement Monday that one production company filmed a series next to the elections administration without obtaining a license, adding that the ministry took the necessary legal measures in coordination with the Ministry of Interior.

The official asserted that the ministry would not allow any transgression of democratic practices.

He explained that the ministry works around the clock to ensure electronic, visual, audio, and print media are committed to the laws and regulations to provide the best coverage.

Saudi Arabia welcomed on Wednesday the ceasefire in Lebanon, hailing the international efforts that helped achieve it.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry hoped the ceasefire would lead to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty, security and stability, and ensure the safe return of the displaced to their homes.

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the ceasefire, commending all efforts that contributed to ending the conflict and expressed its hope for continued security and stability for Lebanon and its people under its national sovereignty.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation stressed the need for all parties to commit to the ceasefire agreement through the full implementation of Resolution 1701.

OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha underscored his full support for Lebanon’s stability and the right of its state to exercise its sovereignty across all Lebanese territories.

He called for humanitarian aid to meet the needs of those affected and for reconstructing what was destroyed in the war.

Moreover, he hoped that the ceasefire in Lebanon would pave the way for an immediate halt to the Israeli assault on Gaza and all occupied Palestinian territories.
