French TV station France 2 has withdrawn a controversial TV show
featuring tribal peoples, following a letter from human rights
organisations denouncing the show as derogatory.

Survival, the Ligue des droits de l'Homme, and International Human
Rights Federation met with France 2 after the channel announced its
withdrawal of the programme, known as 'Chameleons' and then renamed 'At
the end of the world'. The three organisations have applauded France
2's decision.
