Syrian government cancels BBC press accreditation
The Syrian government has cancelled the BBC's media accreditation over what it called "biased and misleading reports".A recent BBC story linked the trade of an amphetamine called Captagon with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's family."We speak to people across the political spectrum to establish the facts," a BBC spokesperson said.
But the US, UK and European Union have blamed the Syrian government for the production and export of the drug and listed relatives of Mr Assad as key figures.
