"Abdul Hamid Ahmad, Editor-in-Chief of Gulf News, said that the phenomenon is a serious violation of the publication law, which stipulates that the price of each publication must be clearly displayed.
This means that offering free publications is against the law, he added."

"the publication law … stipulates that the price of each publication must be clearly displayed. This means that offering free publications is against the law, he added."

Is this thing on? I hear there have been a few layoffs at The National. Anybody know some more?
