revocation of a licence

This revocation of a licence bypasses the judicial process, and IMHO, is more about silencing opposition voices to Chavez.

The CHCA-TV licence was revoked on December 16, 2009, making this the first revocation of a licence for a major terrestrial television station in Canada.

However, the consistent non-compliance by a subject with regulations or codes of practice may result in the revocation of a licence for the subject to operate, and operating without a licence is typically illegal.
