Hezbollah slams Arab satellites for suspending Iranian TV

Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah slammed two Arab satellite providers for dropping a television channel from predominantly Shiite Iran as a "violation of freedom of speech and opinion."

"Hezbollah condemns Arabsat and Nilesat's decision to stop broadcasting the channel Al-Alam, a decision made on political grounds," the group said in a statement about the Arabic-language channel. (AFP)
