The Audiovisual Council has issued a warning to the "ITV" channel for openly broadcasting unethical expressions during the TV series

On 20 November 2024 the Audiovisual Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan held an extraordinary online meeting devoted to the case of openly broadcasting unethical expressions voiced by the characters of the TV series "Citizen A", which is broadcast on the "ITV" channel.

During the discussion, it was noted that unethical expressions voiced by the characters were not blocked by the broadcaster through technical means, thus violating the requirement of Article 14.1.6 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Media", which prohibits the use of words, expressions, and gestures with indecent lexical (swearing) meanings. 

Following the discussions, the Audiovisual Council issued a warning to the Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company that administrative sanctions would be imposed if such violation is repeated.
