- Iran: Tuesday, October 16 - 2012 at 02:14
European satellite provider Eutelsat took 19 Iranian television and radio broadcasters off the air yesterday as a result of European Union sanctions aimed at punishing human rights abusers, the Associated Press has reported. The satellite operator agreed with media services company Arqiva to block the IRIB channels as of Monday morning because of "reinforced EU council sanctions" Eutelsat spokeswoman Vanessa O'Connor said. IRIB's access to Eutelsat was via a contract with Arqiva.
