Lee calls Report from SMN News fake News

A statement issued by former Minister of Health Labor and Social affairs Emil Lee is condemning the report published by SMN news as fake news in the wake of the arrest of former Minister of VROMI Mr. Christopher Emmanuel. Lee Claimed he had nothing to do with filing any complain with the Prosecutor about the workings of Christopher Emmanuel. This is the following text is the unedited Press release sent to the Press by Minister Lee.

“Recent statements made by blog website www.smn-news.com are factually incorrect.  This blog has the habit of printing unsubstantiated statements as if they are factual.  The blog states “A complaint was filed by now-ousted Minister Emil Lee against MP Emmanuel while the former acting head of Domain Affairs Raeyhon Peterson had also submitted a file to the Prosecutor’s Office.  Emmanuel is a candidate Minister that is currently undergoing the screening process.”

This is absolutely not correct.  Emil Lee did not file a complaint against MP Emmanuel with the Prosecutor’s office. It is fake news. This false statement has the potential to cause Emil Lee to become a target both politically and in this election season possibly even incite violence.

The editors of the blog are requested to correct the article as soon as possible.”

Emil Lee fears that if the news is to be believed by those who read it, chances are he may become a target of violence, and even suffer political damage. He is calling for a retraction of the incorrect information from the editors of the news website.
