Controversies

Turkey removed three television channels based in Southern Kurdistan, including Kurdish news agency Kurdistan 24, from its TurkSat satellite, allegedly over broadcasting violations during the Kurdistan Region's independence referendum.

The audio/visual media office of the Iraqi government's Media and Communications Commission issued a decree ordering the shutdown of Kurdistan 24 TV broadcast, the banning of its crew and seizure of their equipment across Iraq. The decree claimed the grounds for the move was that Kurdistan 24 is not licensed, and for programs "that incite violence and hate and target social peace and security." However, Kurdistan 24 is licensed by the Ministry of Culture of the Kurdistan Regional Government, which under the Iraqi Constitution is empowered to run its own affairs.

Criticism

Kurdistan 24 is described as being affiliated with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, particularly the current Prime Minister Of The Kurdistan Region Masrour Barzani.
