Roj TV appeal to start on 2 February
Roj TV appeal to Paris Administrative Court for the reversal of French satellite company Eutelsat’s decision will start on February, 2.
The judges in Denmark on 10 January charged the Kurdish channel with making propaganda for the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) but didn’t revoke the broadcast license of the channel. In connection with the court’s verdict on Roj TV, French satellite company Eutelsat on 19 January made a decision to suspend Roj TV broadcasts as of 23 January.
While the Kurdish people and international press organizations met Eutelsat’s decision with reaction, Roj TV on 23 January appealed to Paris Administrative Court to object to the decision of suspension.
“We are shocked by this unilateral and outrageous decision violating freedom of expression,” Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a statement on Eutelsat’s decision which it described as scandalous.
Roj TV can only be watched on internet since 23 January when satellite broadcasts were suspended by Eutelsat despite all reactions against the restriction of freedom of press.
The usual Roj TV broadcast stream can be followed from Kurdistan and Europe on internet from the addresses of www.roj.tv and http://video.roj.tv/channel/view/roj-75.
