LTTE Asian propaganda channel terminated
Hong Kong: The Hong Kong based management office of Asia Sat
Telecommunication Company has informed the Sri Lanka Embassy in Beijing
that they have terminated the transmission of Tamil Cultural Programme
TV Channel through their Asia SAT 3S Satellite.
The Tamil Cultural Programme TV Channel beamed toward Asia, Middle
East and some of the Central European countries broadcast LTTE
propaganda programs in Tamil language.
The Government of Sri Lanka took up the broadcasting of TCP program
with the Asia Sat Management Office in Hong Kong and requested them to
terminate the facility. The Government pointed out that the LTTE is a
terrorist organization outlawed by a number of countries and
transmission of the propaganda material of this organization would harm
the good image of AsiaSat management as well as the Governments of Hong
Kong SAR and China. |
