Prosecutors demand ban on RojTV

Prosecutors Anders Risager and Jakob Buch-Jepsen have repeated their request to ban Kurdish satellite channel RojTV at the 28th hearing of the trial on Wednesday. They submitted what they claimed to be evidence of orders from PKK executives to Roj TV and photographs of RojTV employees taken in the PKK's bases in the Kandil Mountains in northern Iraq.

RojTV has a Danish broadcasting license, but has no studios in Denmark.

After countless complaints and petitions from the Turkish government over a number of years, in August 2010 Denmark's public prosecution filed a court case against Roj TV, charging it with helping to promote the PKK.
