You won’t see the Newspaper, The Sunday Times, in U.A.E. any more as it’s banned. It’s banned because of the picture you see on the left depicting deep troubles of bad debt. The Sunday Times is owned by News Corp.
According to Bloomburg…
Under a new draft law, local media organizations which “insult” senior government officials or the royal family face fines of up to five million dirhams ($1.36 million), and those which knowingly publish “false information” or stories which “harm” the economy may be fined up to 500,000 dirhams.
Wow.
That’s kind of stiff penalty for making some funny pic, wouldn’t you say?
