Eutelsat on 14 April 2017 expressed its intention “to remove” the ability for Ronahi TV to broadcast, on grounds that Ronahi TV has broadcast statements by members of theKurdistan Communities Union (KCK) and theKurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) who are considered being a terrorist organization.[1] The EFJ alleges that Eutelsat is taking action due to pressure from the TurkishRadio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), to remove them.[1] It has a YouTube channel with 50'5000 proscribers.[4]
