Save ROJ TV, the Kurdish satellite TV
Today I got an email from the Kurdish Satelitte Channel that broadcasts here from Denmark:
There has been a systematic campaign, organised by the Turkish authorities, to compel European countries (particularly Denmark) to prevent free and democratic Kurdish broadcasting. Their aim is to close down the independent Kurdish Satellite channel, ROJ TV. These attempts coincide with the European Union’s efforts to promote democratic reform and free broadcasting in Turkey. We, the undersigned, condemn the Turkish Government’s anti democratic campaign. We urge the Danish Government and European Union member states to resist Turkish pressure and protect free speech in Europe and Turkey.
Please provide your signature in form of a comment to this call (in any language), by clicking on the comment link at: http://rojtv.blogspot.com/
Hey what’s wrong with Turkey anyway?
Is the Turkish Government really demanding a Danish TV-station closed?

Shalom:
As a former small town newspaper owner, I really appreciate what you are doing.
And yes, it is nervy that the Saudi Ruler would censor Fox channel; and that the Turkish authorities would try to do the same with a Danish TV company.
However, the fascism seems to be global! - The USA is behind the destruction of free speech and press, as well as the systematic attack on the civil rights of religious Jewry, in Israel! You go and figure!
Thanks for your work.
Be Strong - and take a look at the hideous political oppression in Israel. It is not a democracy, thanks to the US State Department!
Check out what happened to the operators of Israel National News - also called Arutz Sheva.
