Supreme Court freezes closure of Army Radio, says government must justify position

The Supreme Court has temporarily halted the government's plan to close Army Radio, demanding the government justify its decision in court. This move has intensified tensions between the judiciary and government ministers, with several officials openly calling to defy the court's ruling and proceed with the shutdown as planned. Critics argue that the government's push to close the station is politically motivated and undermines press freedom, while supporters claim the station's content harms the military's unity. The government must now respond to the court by March 15, extending the debate beyond the original closure date.
