Lebanese Information Minister Ramzi Jreij stressed that Al-Manar TV channel has not adopted a provocative broadcast path according to Lebanon's legal terms.

Jreij's statement responded to NileSat claims that Al-Manar has followed a sectarian, inciting track in its programs.

NileSat Managing Board notified the Lebanese Information Ministry that it will block the broadcast of Al-Manar TV channel across the Nilesat signals starting from 08:00 a.m. Cairo time on Tuesday.

The Egyptian Satellite Company justified the decision by claiming that the Al-Manar TV violated the agreement signed between both parties and broadcast programs which provoke sectarian strife and sedition.
