Media ministry suspends Twitter account over ‘offensive’ Canada post

JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Media has suspended a Twitter account after it posted an infographic perceived to be offensive to Canada.

@Infographic_KSA posted the image on its feed on Monday after Saudi Arabia ordered the Canadian ambassador to leave the country.

“Based on a complaint filed to the Ministry of Media about a post by @Infographic_ksa, the ministry has ordered the owner of the account to shut it down until investigations are completed,” the ministry said.
