Le Lac must correct claims about animal rights activists

 Erwin Kessler wins a dispute with the bilingual newspaper Le Lac from Murten. The Münchwilen district court ordered the newspaper to make a correction. The court confirmed to the SDA news agency that it had upheld the animal rights activist's complaint against Le Lac. The president of the Association Against Animal Factories sued because of statements in an article in the newspaper. In this article, the writer claimed that the Zurich High Court had sentenced Kessler to five months in prison and that he had been at the forefront of the fight against the establishment of the Amgen company in the Murten region. However, the judgment of the Zurich High Court against Kessler never became legally binding, as the Zurich Court of Cassation overturned it due to procedural flaws. The Münchwilen District Court also came to the conclusion in the Amgen case that Kessler had never publicly commented on the controversial establishment of the company in the agricultural zone.
