Algerian TV channel suspended for 10 days over racist slur against African migrants

ALGIERS – Algerian authorities on Friday suspended broadcasts by a television news channel for 10 days after it used a racist term on social media to describe African migrants.

Echorouk News TV used the derogatory word in a Facebook post following police raids that led to the detention of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.

The ANIRA broadcasting authority condemned the post as "extremely serious," stating that it contained "a racist and discriminatory term, an attack on human dignity, conveying hate speech against a category of people because of their race."

ANIRA demanded that the channel’s management issue an official apology.

Tens of thousands of undocumented African migrants have used Algeria as a transit point to reach Europe, while many others have sought employment in the North African country.

Since the beginning of April, Algeria has deported approximately 5,000 Africans to neighboring Niger, with about half originating from Niger itself, according to state television reports.

 

افریقی تارکین وطن کے خلاف نسل پرستانہ زبان استعمال کرنے پر الجزائر کے ٹی وی چینل کو 10 دن کے لیے معطل کر دیا گیا


الجزائر – الجزائری حکام نے جمعے کے روز ایک ٹی وی نیوز چینل کے نشریات کو 10 دن کے لیے معطل کر دیا، کیونکہ اس نے افریقی تارکین وطن کو بیان کرنے کے لیے سوشل میڈیا پر ایک نسل پرستانہ لفظ استعمال کیا تھا۔

الشروق نیوز ٹی وی نے ایک فیس بک پوسٹ میں یہ توہین آمیز لفظ استعمال کیا، جو پولیس چھاپوں کے بعد شائع کی گئی جس میں سب صحارا افریقہ سے تعلق رکھنے والے تارکین وطن کو حراست میں لیا گیا تھا۔

نشریاتی اتھارٹی ANIRA نے اس اشاعت کو "انتہائی سنگین" قرار دیتے ہوئے کہا کہ اس میں "ایک نسل پرستانہ اور امتیازی لفظ استعمال کیا گیا، جو انسانی وقار پر حملہ ہے اور ایک خاص نسل کے خلاف نفرت انگیز بیانیہ پھیلا رہا ہے۔"

ANIRA نے چینل کی انتظامیہ سے مطالبہ کیا کہ وہ سرکاری طور پر معافی مانے۔

ہزاروں کی تعداد میں دستاویزات سے محروم افریقی تارکین وطن الجزائر کو یورپ جانے کے لیے ایک راستے کے طور پر استعمال کرتے ہیں، جبکہ کئی دیگر نے شمالی افریقی ملک میں روزگار تلاش کیا ہے۔

ریاستی ٹی وی کے مطابق، اپریل کے آغاز سے الجزائر نے تقریباً 5,000 افریقیوں کو ہمسایہ ملک نائجر بھیج دیا ہے، جن میں سے تقریباً نصف نائجر سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں۔
