Senegal TV Stations Suspended over ‘Too Much’ Protest Coverage
Mar 05, 2021
Two private television stations have had their signal suspended in Senegal after they had been accused of focusing too much on protests. The BBC reports that the protests had been triggered by the arrest of an opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko. Senegal is entering its third day of nationwide demonstrations sparked by the detention of Sonko, one of the government’s loudest critics.
Sen TV and Walf TV channels are the two television stations affected by the decision taken by the National Audiovisual Regulatory Council. Internet access in Senegal has also been disrupted.
