Palestinian Authority police shut down two radio stations in Hebron on Wednesday for allegedly failing to acquire the necessary broadcasting permits. Ramadan Awad, Hebron’s chief of police, said the PA Ministry of Communication informed his department that the Al-Yamamah and Al-Baladiyah radio stations were operating illegally, without licences.
The station owners and directors were asked to follow regulations in order to renew broadcasting, Mr Awad said, adding that they had been informed several times prior to the shutdown, but had failed to respond.
