Indian editor gets bail in libel case

Dubai: An Indian editor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) who had been sentenced to two months of imprisonment in a libel case has been released on bail.

UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum had on Tuesday issued instructions that no journalist is to be jailed for reasons related to his work, adding there are other measures that may be taken against journalists breaking the press and publication laws, but not jail.

The instructions follow a Dubai court ruling giving two Khaleej Times journalists two-month jail term for libelling an Iranian woman on Sunday. On Tuesday, they were given bail after they appealed against the sentence. The Indian journalist is S.K. Gangadharan. — PTI
