EU / EUTELSAT censorship of PressTV Iran

The EU European Union is trying to totally censor PRESS TV , the Iranian Channel broadcasting in English. This type of behavior reminds me of the old Communist Soviet Union or the present day USA where contrary views were or are being excluded from public viewing. In democracies it should be the choice of the viewer what TV programs are watched, apart from pornography of course, which incidentally is routinely permitted by the EU and EUTELSAT.

Press TV has launched a Facebook petition to save the news channel across Europe after European satellite provider Eutelsat SA stopped the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels on the order of the European Commission.

In a blatant violation of freedom of speech, the company ordered media services company, Arqiva, to take the Iranian satellite channels off one of its Hot Bird frequencies on Monday.

The decision follows months of jamming of Iranian channels by European satellite companies.

Iranian news channels affected by the decision only aimed to break the West’s monopoly on news broadcast by reflecting the voice of the oppressed people to the world.

The illegal move by Eutelsat SA, therefore, is a step to silence all alternative news outlets representing the voice of the voiceless.

Press TV calls on its supporters to join the campaign and back the news channel by liking the petition and leaving comments at the following address in order to protect the free speech in Europe:

Save Press TV in Europe
