Kurdish journalists and media outlets expressed their rejection of the project to establish a national media council in the Kurdistan region, and they viewed it as an attempt to restrict press freedoms and impose party politics on the press and the media.
Journalist Saman Seddik said in a press statement: "There are two laws in the region related to the regulation of media affairs and journalistic work. They are the Law on Organizing Journalistic Work in the Region No. 35 - issued in 2007, and the Right to Information Law, despite not dealing with them in the region. It should also, but they are in effect, so the final project will represent a process of restricting journalistic work and subjecting it to partisan influence. " Omar added: "The law, insofar as it seeks to restrict, limit and restrict the work of journalists and media organizations, it does not talk about preserving the rights of journalists and ensuring their professional entitlements."
Meanwhile, Kamel Omar, a professor of information at the University of Sulaimaniyah, expressed his opposition to the draft law of the National Press Council, stressing: "The problem lies in the lack of application of the press work law in the region by the official authorities, while trying to stifle the rest of the freedom in journalistic work by working on Enact a new law. "
A number of media professionals and officials in the Kurdistan Regional Government have held a symposium on media performance in the Kurdistan region during the past few days, during which they came up with a project to form a national media council in the region and submit it to the Kurdistan Parliament for discussion and approval.
