Kuwait Times?

I heard today – on Global Voices Online: Kuwait that the Minister of Information has rescinded the restrictions on publications.

Either my Kuwait Times was stolen this morning, or it never came. I have tried to reach the Kuwait Times online, but get only blanks. Is there something going on?

    Information Minister Abdullah Al-Muhailbi yesterday ordered the withdrawal of a controversial circular that reportedly restricted press freedoms. The action came as Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA) held an emergency meeting yesterday to review the implications of the decision and actions to be taken to counter the new regulations. Muhailbi said in a statement that he ordered ministry officials to withdraw the circular issued last week by the local press affairs department to see if the new regulations violated the press and publications law. “
