According to EFJ sources, Eutelsat SA has received pressure from RTÜK (Turkish Radio Television Supreme Council) to remove the signal of Med Nuçe TV considered as pro-PKK television by Turkish authorities.

“We are sending this message to Rodophe Belmer, Eutelsat CEO, to maintain the signal of this Kurdish Med Nuçe TV in order to protect media pluralism and respect Kurdish people’s right to access information. We don’t have to agree with the political content of the channel but they have the right to express their view in a democratic society. The content of this channel is fully respecting public order directives and Eutelsat should not help Turkish authorities in their media violations”, said EFJ in a statement.
