Restrictions on Russia’s RTR Planeta TV channel end in Lithuania

The three-month-long restrictions ended at midnight on July 8. They were imposed on April 8 for the incitement of hatred and banned the broadcasting of any RTR Planeta programs produced outside the European Union.

LRTC adviser on legal issues Viktoras Popandopula told BNS on Tuesday this and other TV channels may face even longer bans or such channels may be banned altogether, if they continue breaching Lithuanian laws.
