On Friday evening, there was an incident lasting around two hours at the regional broadcaster TeleBielingue involving 13 Kurdish activists who forced their way into the editorial offices. The police ended the action without violence. According to a report by SDA, the activists forced their way into the editorial offices at 5.30 p.m. and demanded that a message be broadcast on the evening news, as editor Samuel Déjardin said on Saturday in response to a report by TSR radio in French-speaking Switzerland. The editors rejected the demands and finally alerted the police. The activists left at around 7.30 pm. No one was arrested. It remained unclear on Saturday whether the broadcaster would press charges.
