    French ban linked to Zahra's Blue Eyes broadcast

    In February 2005, a French administrative court ordered Eutelsat to stop carrying Sahar TV. The action followed allegations that the channel's broadcast of Zahra's Blue Eyes, produced by Lebanon's Al-Manar, incited antisemitism. Iraqi official Nazar Heydar condemned the decision as a human-rights violation.
