Danish prosecutor demanded cancellation of RojTv broadcasting license
Danish prosecutor demanded cancellation of broadcasting license in Roj TV case claiming that the Kurdish satellite TV supports Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
Speaking to AFP news agency prosecutor Lise-Lotte Nilas said that he sent law incicement to the court which demands cancellation of Roj TV's broadcasting license which was granted by Denmark.
Nilas said he and a group of Danish prosecutors observed Roj TV's broadcasts closely since 2005 and concluded that the Kurdish television supports the PKK.
He also spoke about Danish police's decision to freeze the assets of Roj TV and Mezopotamia Broadcasting in Denmark.
Roj TV's defence lawyer Bjoern Elquist also spoke to AFP saying that an objection was presented against the decision to freeze the assets to the Danish court.
The court will hear both sides on 19 October and announce its decision.
On the other hand NATO General Secretary and former Prime Minister of Denmark Anders Fogh Rasmussen is in Ankara for talks with Turkish officials.
The visit came only weeks before the start date of Roj TV proceedings in Denmark.
Peace and Democracy Party MP Bengi Yýldýz said he hopes that Rasmussen won't surrender to Turkish pressure to shut down Roj TV. He called Danish authorities to send a delegation to Kurdish cities to see which TV channel they are watching and then make a decision.
