The Federal Court in Leipzig, on the basis of the decision issued before by the European Court of Justice has lifted the broadcasting ban on RojTv that has been prevented to broadcast within the German territory.

German Federal Court of Justice finalized the case of Roj TV by lifting the ban on the channel’s publications and activities within the borders of the country.

While the Federal Court in Leipzig ruled the decision on the basis of the decision made earlier by the European Court of Justice, the court concluded that Roj TV didn’t instigate hate and grudge among peoples, as argued by prosecution, noting that the prosecution’s ban on the contrary was against the brotherhood of peoples.

The European Court of Justice ruled on September 22 that the closure of Roj TV could only be ruled by the Danish authorities responsible for the supervision of broadcast.

The Interior Minister of Germany also banned the activities of Roj TV and linked Mesopotamia Broadcast Company in 2008 on the grounds of “preparing programs contrary to the harmonization among peoples”.  The ban was followed by the suspension of activities by Kurdish production company Wiko GmBH studios raided for providing program to Roj TV.

While Roj TV objected to the decision in an appeal to the Federal Court, the court asked the European Court of Justice for opinion.
