MED-TV Director Attacked

The dirctor of the Kurdish satellite station MED-TV, Ilhan Kizilhan, was
attacked at the Duisburg train station while riding from Brussels to
Germany. As he went to make a phone call on the platform, he was
surrounded by four thugs, told to stop working for MED-TV, and then
beaten. During the 10-minute incident, the attackers were orchestrated
by a group of older men in suits. Passers-by only looked on. After 10
minutes, Ilhan was able to flee. Hospital treatment revealed he had
three broken ribs. MED-TV's director in London, Hikmet Tabak, stated
that this latest attack by Turkey's secret police had been inspired by
recent police actions against MED-TV and other Kurdish institutions in
Belgium.
