RaajjeTV staff has decided to assist SanguTV over a fine imposed by the broadcasting commission (BroadCom) for a statement MP Mohamed Mustafa made during a live show.

RaajjeTV said they have decided to help out the SanguTV staff in order to encourage the free media in the Maldives.

BroadCom imposed a MVR 100,000 fine on SanguTV over a live TV interview with MP Mohamed Mustafa, in which the lawmaker made statements that ‘defamed’ President Abdulla Yameen.
