ISTANBUL -French Satellite Company Eutelsat has increased its oppression in order to shut down the broadcast of Med Nuçe. According to reports received, the company sent a new instruction to satellite provider and demanded the suspension of Med Nuçe TV's broadcast at 10 a.m.

According to ANF (Fırat News Agency), Eutelsat ordered Med Nuçe TV’s broadcast be stopped last week on Thursday following the closure of over 20 channels and radio networks in Turkey by the AKP regime. Kurdish people and allies in Paris gathered in front of the Eutelsat building and held a protest against this order.

France Democratic Kurdish Council (CDK-F) officials met with Eutelsat officials and afterwards made the announcement that “Eutelsat officials have admitted that the Turkish state has sent a letter to Eutelsat via RTÜK (Radio and Television Supreme Council) demanding Med Nuçe’s broadcast be stopped.”

Mednuçe TV started to broadcast in 2013. Eutelsat had stopped the broadcast of Kurdish Roj TV in early 2012.

Kurds are expected to hold protests across Europe starting from today against the action of the French satellite company acting in line with Turkey's demand.
