Kurdistan Journalist Union in Europe has issued a press release condemning the Eastern High Court ( Ostre Landsret) in Denmark verdict against Kurdish broadcasters RoJ TV, Nuce TV and MMC TV whose broadcasting licenses were revoked on Wednesday July 3.

The Union evaluated the Danish court's verdict as a heavy blow against the freedom of expression and free press.

The Union commented the decision of the Danish court under the vague accusation of association with ‘terrorism’ as a direct continuation of the pressure of the government of Turkey, and remarked that "By this arbitrary verdict, these media outlets are doomed to be silenced. Since the inception of their broadcast the above mentioned Kurish outlets have been under continued pressure and intimidation by the government of Turkey".

The Kurdish audience as any other community has the right to get information in its own varieties, the closure of above mentioned TV stations harms this right profoundly, the Union pointed out.

Kurdistan Journalist Union ended its statement by calling on all freedom loving people who see freedom of speech as basic human right to show their solidarity with the Kurdish broadcasters targeted by the verdict.
