Indeed. And look at Britain closing down a London-based Kurdish satellite TV station at the same time. ***** Copyright 1999 The New York Times Company March 23, 1999, Tuesday, Late Edition - Final SECTION: Section A; Page 8; Column 4; Foreign Desk HEADLINE: World Briefing BYLINE: By Compiled by Terence Neilan ....BRITAIN: KURD TV STATION CLOSED -- Britain ordered a London-based Kurdish satellite TV station to stop broadcasting for 21 days, saying it carries programs likely to incite crime or disorder. Turkey says the station, Med TV, is a mouthpiece for Kurdish separatist guerrillas. But Kurdish sympathizers called the move an outrage against free speech. The suspension could lead to the permanent closing of the station, which says it serves about 35 million Kurds in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Alan Cowell (NYT) ***** Yoshie
