Suspension of Bénin Web TV website linked to digital code enforcement

News website Bénin Web TV suspended by media regulator under provisions of Benin's Digital Code.

On 12 March 2026, the news website Bénin Web TV was suspended and its managing director’s press card withdrawn by Benin’s High Authority for Audiovisual and Communications (HAAC). The HAAC cited the publication of two allegedly inaccurate articles, one concerning alleged errors in the HAAC’s budget request to Parliament, and the other concerning a request for a company car by the HAAC president. The suspension is carried out under Benin’s Digital Code, which includes provisions that enable authorities to restrict or penalize online news outlets, representing a form of digital‑platform‑based threat to media freedom and online expression.
