Basler Zeitung: Sans-papiers activists break into editorial office
Sans-papiers activists broke into the editorial offices of the Basler Zeitung newspaper on Wednesday. At around 11 a.m., around twenty people drew attention to issues allegedly suppressed by the media by banging on pan lids, whistling and chanting slogans.
At the same time, the Sans-Papiers collective sent out a media release with the same content as the leaflets distributed on site. It spoke of a "symbolic-theatrical action" that was not directed at the Baz alone, but "at all bourgeois media", which were taking a one-sided "defamatory stance". According to a Baz spokesperson, the activists left voluntarily after five to ten minutes - they had gained unnoticed access to editorial offices that were actually locked. The company is unlikely to press charges. (SDA)
