Eight people detained in connection with RojTV funds
Eight Kurdish people were taken into custody in Denmark accused of funding ROJ TV.
Detentions followed simultaneous raids in a number of houses early on Monday morning. Among the eight detainees are also members of People’s Assembly in Denmark. Detainees are expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
Speaking about the detentions, police inspector Jens Moeller Jensen stated that they wanted the trial to take place behind closed doors and added that the investigation could go beyond Denmark.
In the trial on 29 October, a Danish court will consider ROJ TV authorities’ objection to the pecuniary penalty imposed on the channel after the trial which had been opened in September 2010 and ended on 14 December 2011.
