Arab League asks for Syrian TV ban
June 4, 2012
By Chris Forrester
The Arab League has asked Arabsat and Nilesat to remove the various Syrian TV channels they are carrying. The request was made on June 2 at an extraordinary meeting of the League’s foreign ministers in Qatar.
Syria’s National media Council immediately called the decision as a “flagrant interference in Syrian internal affairs, and unprecedented violation of the media freedom of the Arab nation.”
