Legal Pursuit For Instigators Obstructing State Arms Control

Relevant authorities are continuing their measures to confront media and security incitement campaigns aimed at obstructing government directives regarding state arms control. Official reports indicated that intelligence teams and specialized departments within the Prime Minister's office, the National Intelligence Service, the National Security Service, and the Ministry of Interior have monitored several inciting cases currently undergoing security review and analysis. The concerned authorities confirmed that handling these files is conducted strictly in accordance with official judicial approvals, alongside activating the procedures of the committee to combat sectarian and ethnic rhetoric to undermine any threats to civil peace in coordination with the judicial authority. In this context, the leadership stressed that these steps come to protect internal stability amid regional developments, clarifying that freedom of expression is a guaranteed constitutional right but is restricted by not stirring up chaos or supporting factions outside the state apparatus. Legal procedures are based on the provisions of the Penal Code, the Anti-Terrorism Law, and the Law on Banning the Baath Party and Racist Activities, while emphasizing the application of the law to all violators regardless of their partisan or political affiliations, and ensuring that freedom of opinion is not turned into a means to promote weapons or security threats.
