SBS spokesman told Reuters that programs would not air on Saturday and that SBS was reviewing a complaint from a human rights organization.

15 minutes CGT en English news service and 30 minutes CCTV Mandarin language service had been part of SPS programming, a story on the SBS news website said.

Human rights organizations Safeguard Defenders wrote to SBS after Britain's media regulator revoked the license of C G T n due to serious noncompliance offenses, SBS reported.

The letter from Safeguard defenders are saying the CCTV broadcasts involved in the extraction, packaging and airing of forced and false confessions of prisoners held under conditions of duress and torture.

China's Foreign Ministry in Beijing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

SBS is a public service broadcaster providing news and entertainment programming on radio and television in multiple languages with a focus on multicultural issues.
