A special unit for fighting against fake news was established yesterday (23 September) at the National Police Agency. The unit will focus on investigating fake news that can be a possible threat to national security or a defamation and insult against citizens on social networks.

Colonel J.Amgalan, director of the public order and safety department of the Mongolian Police Agency said that ‘‘it’s time for every Mongolian to think about their safety. Even the press must be included. It’s not a time to write and say anything you want’.
