Lebanon's interior ministry has reversed a decision to ban the release of Steven Spielberg's latest film, The Post.
The General Security authority, a body that censors films, plays and books in addition to controlling the country’s borders, had announced it was banning the Hollywood thriller in keeping with an Arab League boycott targeting supporters of Israel.
But the interior ministry chose not to sign off on the decision, in what the AFP news agency said was a rare move.
A senior official confirmed on Wednesday: “Interior Minister Nohad Mashnouk is going to allow the film to be shown.”
