Benghazi, 9 August 2014:

TV presenter Nabil Al-Haj of Libya Ahrar TV has resigned, accusing the new administration of the . . .[restrict]Qatar-based station of bias and twisting the news.

He resigned yesterday shortly after the station had covered yesterday’s anti-House of Representatives protests in Misrata. In a statement on his Facebook page, he condemned the lack of integrity at the channel which, he said, had managed to cover that demonstration but not, “for technical reasons”,  pro-House of Representative demonstrations in Tripoli and Benghazi.

Along with him, Tripoli-based reporter Sirine Amari and news presenter Mohamed Zeidan also resigned because of the station’s reported lack of impartiality.

They include: Khadija Al-Amami, head of the Benghazi bureau, who resigned last month; news presenter Fatin Alami who quit last week; and Mohamed Al-Shabah who resigned earlier this week in protest that the station had not aired any of the decisions of by the new House of Representatives.
