According to ANF news, Sterk TV and Medya News studios were raided by the Belgian Police in the morning. It was reported that the broadcasting equipment was intervened and their cables were cut during the search, which lasted up to 4 hours, by the police, including ski-masked police.
The Belgian police entered the uplink room by breaking the door and destroyed the equipment inside. When they entered, the police handcuffed the security guards and forced them to the ground, using violence. The police stayed in the building for about 4 hours and then left the studio with the materials they confiscated. During the raid, the entire city where the studios were located was blockaded by the police. While more than 200 police officers participated in the raid, there were also ski-masked and plainclothes police officers.
According to the information received, simultaneous raids were carried out on the houses of the Democratic Kurdish Community Center and its members in the Drancy suburb in the Paris region at around 06:00 in the morning.
While houses were plundered during the raids, 6 Kurds, whose names have not yet been learned, were detained.
As of 10:00, police searches were continuing at the Democratic Society Center.
These raids took place at a time when Kurdish media outlets were being targeted in Belgium.
In recent weeks, France illegally handed over three Kurdish refugees to Turkey and ensured their arrest.
Stêrk and Medya Haber TV: Our people should flock to the area where the televisions are located VIDEOBelgian police raided the studios of Stêrk TV and Medya Haber TV and seized the computers. The police cut all cables, especially computer, stage and electrical cables, to prevent television broadcasting. The police searched all the way to the attics and plundered the building.
We think that it was carried out on the basis of cooperation between Belgium and Türkiye, targeting independent media organizations and in line with international state interests. It seems that Turkey has transmitted its habit of criminalizing revolutionary press work to Belgium. It is clear that the uncompromising rejection of such pressures that trample democratic rights is a condition for defending the freedom of the press. As 24np.info, we protest the Belgian state and police.
