Syria's information ministry said on Saturday it had cancelled the accreditation of two local journalists working for Britain's BBC over what it said was 'false' and 'politicised' coverage.

The accreditations of an unidentified correspondent and camera operator have been revoked following "subjective and false information and reports" on Syria, the ministry said on its website. It described other BBC reports as "politicised". "We will continue to provide impartial news and information to our audiences across the Arabic-speaking world," it said.
Syria, ravaged by conflict since 2011, ranks 175 out of 180 on a press freedom index compiled by Reporters' Without Borders. The government and other authorities impose strict limits on media coverage and require accreditations and permissions to report.
