ORF Tyrol Stormed: 19 Charges Against Pro-Palestine Activists

After pro-Palestinian activists entered the regional studio of ORF Tirol on Innsbruck's Rennweg last Friday, 19 charges for violating the assembly law were filed. This was reported by the Tirol edition of the "Kronen Zeitung" on Wednesday. No breach of the peace was committed, according to the police.

Entered Tirol ORF Studio Under a Pretext

"No violence was used - no door was broken open or any person harassed," said a police spokesperson. According to "Krone," the activists entered the secured building under a pretext. Those charged now face a fine of up to 720 euros or six weeks of substitute imprisonment.

Criticism Targeted at Unbalanced Reporting on Gaza Conflict

Masked activists stormed into the foyer of the regional studio and climbed onto the roof via a construction scaffold. There, they hoisted Palestinian flags and denounced what they considered to be non-objective reporting on the Middle East or Gaza conflict. When they refused to end their unauthorized action, they were arrested with the involvement of the special task force Cobra. Additionally, an unregistered demonstration took place in front of the building, involving a total of 25 people. The action resulted in a large police presence and roadblocks.
