“Bahrain has temporarily frozen the office of the Qatari Al Jazeera Satellite TV Channel for breaching the professional media norms and flouting the laws regulating the press and publishing,” the official Bahrain News Agency said, without giving details.
Officials at Bahrain’s Ministry of Information either declined to comment or could not be reached.
A statement from Al Jazeera condemned the ban. It said it had not been formally notified of the move.
