The Ministry of Health has issued a directive reminding media and the public that it is prohibited to disclose personal information or images that could identify minors involved in sexual abuse cases.
The instruction, reported on 7 November, aims to protect the dignity and legal rights of children. It applies across all platforms and underscores that safeguarding a minor’s privacy is a shared responsibility under the law.
The reminder coincides with ongoing high-profile cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse, including proceedings against a former foreign minister.
Authorities have stressed compliance to avoid further harm to victims and to uphold existing legal protections.
