News websites Al Akhbariya and Al Sabah News have been blocked by the Supreme Council for Media Regulation following a complaint from Huawei, Al Masry Al Youm reports. Huawei accused the editor-in-chief Marwa Abu Zaher of extorting the company by threatening to publish false news unless they paid money. The council has claimed that the allegations have been substantiated, something that Abu Zaher has denied.
