A Saudi broadcaster from the government channel invited "silent" to the antenna

A Saudi broadcaster on an official channel sparked controversy over social media, after banning his guest from continuing his speech.

On the sidelines of the Taif season, Khaled Al-Jabr, the Saudi broadcaster, interviewed an elderly man who presented himself as retired from the Ministry of the Interior.

However, the reporter interrupted him and asked him to talk about the Taif season in particular. "The Taif season has become an outlet for our girls imprisoned by the religious police for years," he said.

Before the man finished his speech, the reporter interrupted with the words "gives you well-being" and passed to another guest indifferent to the objection of his guest, who he is amazed at his behavior and asked the question "what is this behavior, brother?".

The passage spread like wildfire on Twitter, accompanied by opposing hashtagans (#music_modelj_yahrj_citizen and #thank_music_mosem_altaif).

The comments on the hashtag reflect the division that has plagued Saudi society over the authority of the entertainment authority and plans for opening.

The broadcaster's critics demanded that the Ministry of Information punish him, asserting that he was violating "ethics and ethics" and calling for respect for "the difference and the militant fighters ".

In addition, the broadcaster kept silent about the critics, while the Ministry of Information or the administration of the first government channel did not comment on the controversy on social networks.

Meanwhile, another group of tweeters defended the guest, pointing out that his lyrics were in keeping with the opening plans that allowed the organization of events and concerts after decades of 39; ban.

Some commentators, such as songwriter Fahd al-Ahmari, described the broadcaster as "awakening and biased".

On the other hand, most of the comments on the hashtag #Thank_Anchor_Taif_Taif praised the broadcaster and viewed his behavior as a legitimate defense of the country's clergy.

Muhammad Yahya commented: "The citizen on this stage is an ideologue, not a broadcaster whose reaction was natural, spontaneous and even logical.The ideology here is to blame the guest for his work. a characteristic of the vast majority of society, Al-Mutawa. " And by default. "

As for Al-Qahtani, Al-Qahtani attacked the Entertainment Authority and its activities without saying: "That's what the entertainment system does: the constants are dropped under the pretense of openness and development. jealousy, honor and modesty fall into a flood of corrupt seasons.The demolition continues! "

Moreover, Saudi activists believe that the dialogue between the state of confusion felt by Saudi society and the falsity of reforms, they said.

In this context, the story of "conscientious detainees" published a tweet in which he emphasized that "the suppression of the freedom of expression and the fear of arrest put the citizen and the advertiser in a The citizen was trying to express his opinion.The advertiser was evading immediately because he had not received clear instructions to respond to this opinion. "

Nida had a dissenting opinion. "The subject is larger and the difference of opinion about the broadcaster's behavior shows the extent of awareness of the Saudi's liberal ideas on Twitter after the imprisonment and murder of all those who command good and put an end to evil, "she writes.

Saudi Arabia recently held various cultural and artistic events as part of a reform plan led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aimed at changing the image of the country abroad. as a closed country.

The protests are well received by Saudi families who used to travel to neighboring countries to enjoy leisure activities.

Although these activities conform to a set of regulations that respect the teachings of the Islamic Sharia, a large part of society still rejects them and demands the reestablishment of the powers of the Commission for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice.
