– When NRK concludes that Borch is not “Sami enough” to be included in the electoral roll, they not only suspect her, but also everyone else with a similar background. This is pure stigmatization of large parts of the Sami population along the coast, says Toril Bakken KÃ¥ven, parliamentary leader of the Nordkalottfolket in the Sami Parliament, in a press release.
The complaint comes as a result of the NRK article “Sandra Borch was complained about after she ran on a list for the Sámi parliamentary elections”, published November 4. In addition, the report in Dagsnytt 18 on the same day has been complained about.
NRK has been sued for breach of points 2.2, 2.3, 3.2 and 4.3 in Be careful poster for both cases. In addition, the report in Dagsnytt 18 has been complained about for breach of point 1.1.
– We are waiting to comment to PFU until we have received the complaint, writes project editor in NRK’s ​​investigative journalism editorial team, Robin Mortensen, in a statement, according to NRK.
Earlier in November, Sandra Borch also filed a complaint against NRK before the PFU.
– I have decided to report NRK to the Press’s Professional Committee (PFU) as a result of the fact that they have engaged in ethnic scrutiny of me, my family and my relatives, she wrote on her Facebook page.
