'Iran must take legal action against West over media bans'

An analyst says the Islamic Republic should pursue legal methods and file law suits against the illegal dropping of Iranian media based on European constitutions' own laws used to promote 'freedom of speech.' The comment comes as in recent months; Eutelsat's Israeli-French CEO Michel De Rosen has stepped up his restrictive campaign by appealing to major satellite providers in Europe and Asia to silence Iranian media. The campaign has revealed the true face of the West, which preaches respect for human rights and free speech but practices the opposite. On February 20, the Arab satellite provider Gulfsat banned Iranian channels iFilm and Al-Kawthar under direct pressure from Eutelsat. The encroachment upon freedom of speech targeting movie channel, iFilm, and Iran's Arabic-language Al-Kawthar came one day after Eutelsat asked Nilesat to take Iran's English-language news channel Press TV off the air. Press TV has conducted an interview with Beirut-based political analyst Intifad Qanbar to further discuss the issue.
