The communication added that these two channels not only published false news, but also published some offensive pictures of the artist and his wife, with the aim of profiting and increasing the number of viewers and followers of these two channels.
He added that the officials of the two channels insulted the artist, Shams Al-Baroudi, and their goal behind that was to profit and increase interaction in order to achieve views for them, which constitutes a crime that requires punishment.
