‘Forced confession’ victims urge CGTN and CCTV ban
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.

Rarely seen without her signature sunglasses or the impeccably tailored wide-leg jumpsuits she favoured, Carla Zampatti was a figure who loomed so large in the imaginations, and closets, of so many that she appeared to be close to invincible.
Indeed, Zampatti has been such a part of the countryâs social fabric â and indeed, its literal fabric â for so long, that her death, on Saturday, was a devastating shock for many. Zampatti was 78.
