ANKARA — Turkey's media watchdog has fined a private television channel over scenes in the Tintin cartoon that show Captain Haddock and other villains smoking.
The Higher Board of Radio and Television (RTUK) said the broadcasting of smoking scenes was against a law on preventing the harms of tobacco and slapped a fine of 50,000 Turkish lira (33,200 dollars, 24,100 euros) on the station TV8, in a ruling posted on its web site."
