'Press TV banned for speaking the truth'

by PressTVGlobalNews

Iranian satellite channels have been banned from being broadcast in Europe for speaking the truth, a prominent political analyst tells Press TV.

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.

European satellite provider Eutelsat SA stopped the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels on the order of the European Commission.

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 has conducted an interview with Mohsen Saleh, professor at the Lebanese University, from Beirut, to further discuss the issue.
