Temporary Suspension

On 2 May 2025, Algeria’s National Independent Authority for Audiovisual Regulation imposed a ten-day suspension on Echorouk News. This action was taken due to the airing of content considered "dangerously racist" toward African migrants. The regulatory body identified violations involving hate speech and discriminatory remarks against undocumented African migrants, representing a significant infringement of audiovisual standards.
