The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and its affiliate, the Syndicat des professionnels de l’information et de la communication (SYNPICS) have denounced the arbitrary decision to suspend Walf TV’s signal on 1 June 2023. The broadcast programmes of Walt TV, a privately-owned television, were cut off on 1 June as the station broadcast demonstrations following the sentencing of opposition leader Osman Sonok to two years in prison. The station's ability to broadcast has apparently been suspended for 30 days.
