Parliament demands decisive action against BBC breaches

A recent swift action by the Supreme Media Regulatory Council against the BBC has been hailed by the spokesman for the House of Representatives.

In a press release, Salah Hasaballah asserted the parliament's rejection of any insult to or attack on the great Egyptian people, lauding the council's decision to start a probe into the BBC's acts.

He said that the council must reveal to the local and international public opinions the non-professional and bad means used by the BBC.

Moreover, the council should inform the media regulatory body in Britain about the results of its probe into the BBC's conduct and its deliberate defaming operations and disrespect for professional standards and values, to take necessary procedure against the channel to stop its lies about Egypt, said Hasaballah.

"The actions and breaches of the BBC against Egypt and its people is because of what the Egyptian-British relations witnessed during the recent period of close cooperation, coordination and joint action towards all regional and international issues," he said.

This closeness between Egypt and Britain has driven the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group and all terrorist groups that have emerged from it "insane to the point of using any international media to carry out their smear campaign against the Egyptian nation with the help of the dirty money, which they receive from countries that finance, promote, arm and offer safe havens for terrorists on their soil".

He noted that several media outlets have exposed the BBC's anti-Egypt stances including its deliberate consideration of terrorists as Jihadists.
