The Supreme Court of El Salvador suspended a Dec. 4, 1995, order by the Salvadoran National Civil Police (PNC) that closed 10 community radio stations and confiscated their equipment. The closure was carried out at the request of the president of ANTEL, the state agency charged with regulating broadcasting and telecommunications. ANTEL interpreted the Supreme Court's decision to mean only that the equipment had to be returned, not that broadcasting should be allowed to resume, and the agency has refused to grant licenses to the radio stations.
