ANKARA, — Gultan Kisanak the co-chair of BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) condemned Eutelsat’s decision to suspend Roj-TV’s broadcast. “This unacceptable decision is a violation of freedom of thought and expression. Roj-TV is the voice of all of us. We shall protect our voice with struggle and resistance,” she said.
She remarked that the ongoing blocking of Roj-TV is part of the AKP government’s policy to silence the Kurdish people and to hide the truth from society.
The PBD’s co-chair said that “Roj-TV is the eye, ear and voice of the Kurdish people; it is the voice of those who demand democracy and peace. No one will be strong enough to silence this voice. The attempt to silence Roj-TV, which provides broadcast against black propaganda, is in parallel with the AKP government’s policy of destruction and elimination.”
Kisanak remarked that they would struggle against the pressures on Roj-TV and called on all Kurdish people to protest against the decision and to protect their own voice.
