The Globe International NGO has condemned the Citizens’ Representative Meeting of Bayan-Olgii, in the far western province of Mongolia, for issuing a non-compentence decision that makes the normal operation of public media unstable.

At the Citizens’ Representative Meeting’s meeting in Bayan-Olgii Aimag on December 24, 2008, a decision was made in regard to public radio and television ownership. This decision infringes the Law on Press Freedom and the Law on Public Radio and Television. Therefore, the Globe International sent a demand addressed to Kh. Bayan,  Head of the Citizens’ Representative Meeting in Bayan-Olgii Aimag, and to S. Haval,  Governor of the Aimag, to invalidate its Non-competence Decision # 128 of 2008 and requesting them not to meddle in local radio and television activities.
