昨天，孟加拉臨時軍政府阻擋十個外國衛星電視頻道在國內播出，其中包括了Fashion TV（一個建立於法國，專門介紹時尚潮流的國際頻道）。政府表示，這些頻道違反了公眾倫理。

資訊部長在聲明中表示，當地有線電視業者被要求停止播放這些頻道，因為他們的節目違反了「有線電視網絡法第19條」。

一名業者表示，這條法律禁止播放粗俗、猥褻，或是違反當地公眾風俗及觀感的節目。

Bangladesh's army-backed interim government yesterday banned 10 foreign satellite television channels, including Fashion TV, saying they were violating laws on public morality.

The information ministry said in a statement that local cable operators had been told to stop broadcasting the channels because their programmes were "contrary to clause 19 of the cable TV network operation act 2006".
A cable TV operator said the law prohibited broadcasters from showing vulgar and obscene programmes or those seen as violating local customs and sensibilities.
