A new concept from Turkish Government against Roj TV

The action plan consists of 61 articles which was finalised by the High Commission of Struggle with Terror (TMYK), will prosecute every person who participate in Roj TV programs, either by phone or visit their studios in Europe. According to TMYK's action plan these trials will be held on Turkish soil.

Principally it is stipulated to accuse the offenders with terror charges. This will include any politician, academician, writer, singers, artist to ordinary citizens who break the new legislation.
