A Twitter user has sued the Governor of the Capital and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar E.Bat-Uul for his offensive remarks about Twitter users in his latest newspaper interview. The Ulaanbaatar City Mayor's criticisms of Twitter users are being called offensive and abusive and have been described as "absolutely astonishing and inappropriate," on social media.

The individual suing E.Bat-Uul is active Twitter user T.Munkh-Orgil. He says that the Ulaanbaatar City Mayor has defamed Twitter users just like Twitter user and aviation engineer Ts.Bat was accused of defaming the Minister for Roads and Transport, A.Gansukh.

Ts.Bat, who was sentenced to three months in jail, was released on bail on Tuesday. This is the first case in Mongolia involving the arrest of a social media user for defamation.

Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar E.Bat-Uul has not responded publicly to the lawsuit.
