Moldova: chiefs of TV, radio sacked

The parliament in Moldova has dismissed the heads of the state radio and television stations.

Communist deputies -- which hold an overwhelming majority of seats in the assembly -- said Moldovan state radio and TV programs did not reflect reality in a balanced way.

Moldovan opposition supporters say it's the latest in a series of measures adopted by the Communists -- who came to power earlier this year -- to suppress dissent and consolidate their hold on every aspect of society.
