Riyadh gives huge bribes to foreign firms to shut down Yemeni media: Ansarullah
Tehran (KNA) - Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement says Saudi Arabia, which has been leading a deadly war on the impoverished country for the past three years, is giving huge bribes to foreign firms in an attempt to shut down anti-Saudi Yemeni media.
Mohammed Abdul-Salam, the movement's spokesman, made the remarks in a statement carried by Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network on Sunday, saying in only one instance Riyadh had given as much as "$30 million to a foreign satellite company to block a Yemeni news channel for just 30 days." He added that the so-called military coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, was "sparing no effort" to muffle the true voice of Yemeni people calling out through the country's satellite television channels and radio stations.Abdul-Salam also said that all attempts made by the "invaders" to target Yemeni media were constantly being foiled by the media bureau of Yemen's Operations Command through revealing their true nature and the harm and misery that they had brought to Yemen so far.
"What the enemy is doing against the anti-invasion media outlets, either Yemeni or non-Yemeni, are mere oppressive acts aimed at obscuring the facts and distorting the reality, similar to what they have done and are doing against the Palestinian cause," he added.
