Cameroon’s National Communication Council (NCC) has suspended private television channel Vision 4 for one month following its extraordinary session on September 29.
According to Journal du Cameroun, the sanction relates to a report broadcast in June that the regulator considered abusive towards lawyer Félicité Esther Ziefman. The NCC also cited alleged non-compliance with earlier sanctions and remarks made during a subsequent television programme.
The council additionally suspended Boney Philippe from practising journalism for one month and extended journalist Martial Owona’s suspension to six months.
