Turkey Blocks Twitter, YouTube and Facebook Over Images

lundi 6 avril 2015

Turkey moved to block access to some social media websites after images of a prosecutor who was taken hostage and later died were circulated. Ibrahim Kalin, spokesman for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said the order to bar access was demanded by a prosecutor who equated the distribution of the images to terrorist propaganda. Shares of Turkcell, the country’s largest mobile operator, fell as much as 1.8 percent in Istanbul after the announcement. An Istanbul prosecutor died April 1 from injuries sustained after he was taken hostage in a courtroom by members of leftist militant group DHKP-C. Pictures of him with a gun held to his head were published by several newspapers and websites.
