Al-Ghadeer TV published two consecutive lines this evening quoting Supreme Judicial Council head Judge Faiq Zaidan: that there is no legal basis for settlement agreements with those accused in corruption cases, and that freedoms are constitutionally guaranteed while the judiciary distinguishes between exercising the right of expression and cases of insult, defamation and overreach. The channel added no comment of its own. What is established is that Badr Organization's broadcaster carried the judicial position; no other collected channel in this window carried it.

“Freedoms are a constitutionally guaranteed right, and the judiciary distinguishes between exercising the right of expression and cases of insult, defamation and overreach.”
الحريات حق مكفول دستورياً والقضاء يميز بين ممارسة الحق في التعبير وبين حالات الشتم والسب والتجاوز
Watch: prosecutions of journalists or commentators citing the insult-and-defamation distinction, cancellation of existing corruption settlements, or a faction channel disputing Zaidan's position — any of these moves this file.
