AFP, PARIS
Thirteen people who describe themselves as “victims of forced confessions broadcast on Chinese television” are urging European satellite operator Eutelsat to reconsider carrying Chinese channels China Global Television Network (CGTN) and China Central Television 4 (CCTV4).
The letter published by human rights watchdog Safeguard Defenders details a list of contraventions that the signatories have said China is guilty of using to extort confessions from them and “refuse the right to a fair trial.”
“We are asking you . to determine whether television providers in democratic societies ought to continue to be morally complicit in the broadcast of information that is intentionally twisted and obtained through torture,” the group said.
