Iraq’s media regulator, the Communications and Media Commission (CMC), has banned the broadcast of the historical drama “Muawiya” on MBC Iraq during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, citing concerns that it could incite sectarian tensions.
The CMC has instructed MBC Iraq not to air the series, but it will still be accessible via other MBC satellite channels and the network’s digital platform, Shahid, allowing viewers to continue watching the show despite the ban.
