Syrian TV apologizes after child anime show features topless character

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Syria’s TV issued an apology Monday after a children anime show showed a topless girl at one scene, admitting that the material was not revised in advance.

Syria Drama said in a statement that “revising the show, the mistake was confirmed, and apology became mandatory for viewers”, vowing to “take action against delinquent workers to ensure the mistake is not repeated”.
