OFFICIAL STATEMENT: CLARIFICATION ON THE CASE OF GATTIEK LIETH

The Office of the Leer County Commissioner has observed with concern the circulation of biased and inaccurate reports regarding the brief detention and release of Leer FM Station Manager, Gattiek Lieth.

To protect the public from misinformation, I am authorized to clarify the following:

📍 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ARREST:

Contrary to false reports, Mr. Lieth was NOT arrested for taking photos of sand trucks. He was briefly held for questioning after taking unauthorized photographs inside a secure police facility without permission. This was a breach of security protocol, not a media-related arrest.

📍 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELEASE: The release of the Station Manager was a local administrative decision handled entirely by the County Authorities. We wish to clarify that organizations such as AMDISS and NEF were NOT involved in the process that secured his release.

As the Press Secretariat, we urge media houses and the public to stop spreading unverified rumors. Leer County remains committed to the rule of law and the security of all citizens.
