The government of Bahrain has issued a decree to shut down Al Jazeera’s bureau in the capital, Manama, citing what it called the TV channel’s “breach of media norms”.
In a statement on Tuesday, Bahrain’s culture and information ministry accused the network of “flouting the laws regulating the press and publishing” in the country.
The statement came as Bahraini authorities prevented an Al Jazeera team from entering the country on Tuesday to interview Yvo De Boer, who recently resigned as the UN climate chief.
