Al Jazeera Media Network launched a campaign to support press freedom, in response to demands of closing its channels and blocking its websites made by countries putting Qatar under siege. Al Jazeera called in the campaign for supporting its independent voice, and supporting the right of people in making their voices heard.
The network added in a statement it released that the attack and false accusations it is being subjected to was a targeting of freedom of press and expression, and not just a campaign against a media institution that managed within two decades to enhance its role as one of the best in the world and attracts millions of viewers in 150 countries. The statement highlighted Al Jazeera network's recognition in many awards for its distinguished covering of news as well as for its programs and documentaries.
