Temporary Suspension of Echorouk News Broadcast

On 2 May 2025, Algeria's National Independent Authority for Audiovisual Regulation suspended Echorouk News' broadcast for ten days. The decision followed the channel's airing of content described as "dangerously racist" towards African migrants. The authority stated that the channel used terminology constituting hate speech and discrimination against a group of undocumented migrants from African countries, representing a serious breach of audiovisual broadcasting regulations.^[3]
