Judge orders Latina not to transmit "La paisana Jacinta" again | The law

The diffusion of "Paisana Jacinta" shows the citizen of peasant communities as a dirty, ignorant, clumsy, violent and rude people. This is contrary to respect for human dignity, the right to equality and non-discrimination on ethnic grounds, the right to honor and good reputation, ethnic identity and principle of tolerance of diversity.

This is the argument used by Judge Yanet Ofelia Paredes Salas, of the first mixed court of Wanchaq, province of Cuzco, to order the Latin American broadcasting company SA (Frecuencia Latina) which, although it ceased broadcasting the said program in 2015, does not broadcast it by open signal or cable. He also ordered the company to remove the videos containing the content of the program on its YouTube channel or on any other visual platform.

In her decision, the judge cited the United Nations in recognizing that the said program discriminated against the indigenous population:

"In its meetings number 85 (between 11 and 29 August 2014), it stated:" 24 Despite the measures taken to combat rational discrimination, which include administrative measures against the media, the Committee remains concerned discriminatory attitudes that remain deeply rooted in Peruvian society and regrets that the media continue to spread negative stereotypes about indigenous peoples and Afro-Peruvians, as in the case of the program "La Paisana Jacinta" (Article 7) ".
