France Takes Hamas TV Off Air in Europe
[AFP] Hamas' Al-Aqsa television channel was taken off the air in Europe less than 24 hours after it was added to the French Eutelsat's satellite network, industry officials said Friday. The French broadcasting regulator CSA had warned Eutelsat that much of Hamas' programming contravenes laws against inciting hatred and violence. Eutelsat official said the company had never had a contract with Hamas but had rented space on one of its satellites to Noorsat, a Bahrein-based provider, which had begun showing Al-Aqsa. Noorsat was warned to respect French law, and the broadcast was halted.
