Human rights organisation says CGTN and CCTV channels regularly featured footage of prisoners making confessions under duress

Australian public broadcaster SBS has suspended broadcasts from Chinese state media channels CGTN and CCTV, pending a review into human rights complaints.

SBS told the Guardian it was reviewing a complaint sent by human rights organisation Safeguard Defenders, which claimed CGTN and CCTV programs regularly shown on the multicultural broadcaster had in the past included dozens of forced confessions both domestically and internationally, in breach of the SBS code of conduct. It did not claim that SBS had aired any of the confessions.
