The ministry’s assistant undersecretary for journalism, publication and prints affairs issued a decision to suspend the licenses of 17 weekly and monthly newspapers and magazines.
The monthly newspapers and magazines are Dalal, Kuwait Auto, Sawalef and Ostora, Yaqtha, Al-Majales, Waseet Al-Jahra, Elanak, Al-Imtiyaz, Nujoom, Ummati, Arab, Jufaina, Kalam, Burgan, Rumooz and Safaqat.
The cancellation of licenses was due to ceasing of publication for more than six months without providing an acceptable excuse to the ministry.
