The Arab League has asked the satellite communications company Arabsat, which it owns, to "halt transmission of the Libyan Jamahiriya channel and all television channels affiliated with the Libyan authorities, in compliance with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973."
Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting, which transmits news on several channels inside Libya and via satellite across the Middle East, is already under U.S. sanctions.
