Kurdistan Regional Government prime minister Nechirvan Barzani candidly says that they will go after any journalist or others who will "cross the line;" describing that as "to infringe the security of Kurdistan." And that "Democracy and freedom also have their limits."
Transcript:
With every incident that happens in Kurdistan Region, NRT teams are targeted.
You are the Prime Minister of Kurdistan Regional government…
Yesterday, 4 teams of NRT were detained in Shiladize and Duhok.
Even though they were released late last night, all of their journalistic equipment were confiscated.
What do you say on this issue?
– Principally, we are never with causing trouble for any channel or TV station.
But remember, Democracy and freedom also have their limits.
For us, the security of citizens is by far more important that the things that are talked about.
Sometimes they deliberately cross that line.
When they cross it, without doubt the KRG will severely treat those who want to infringe the security of Kurdistan.
Whatever side they are. Or, whatever TV channel it is. That won’t be accepted.
