(RSF/IFEX) – RSF is protesting the jamming of Voice of Tibet. According to
RSF’s information, On 17 December 1998, the Chinese authorities jammed
Voice of Tibet (VOT), an Oslo-based radio station which broadcasts a
thirty-minute programme to India, Nepal and Norway. According to Mr. Alme,
director of VOT, the Chinese authorities aired a Radio Canada International
programme on the same frequency in order to prevent the clear reception of
VOT. It was not clear on 18 December if they had done it again. In the past,
China jammed the international programmes of the BBC, VOA and other stations
broadcasting from abroad on several occasions.
