An investigation was launched against journalist Zeynep Kuray on suspicion of “publicly disseminating misleading information” over her social media posts opposing the conversion of Akbelen into a mining site. The investigation was reportedly initiated following a complaint by the company that expropriated the area and destroyed the forest. Conducted under Article 217/A of the Turkish Penal Code (“disinformation”), the investigation included Kuray’s statement, in which she said, “The real culprit is the company that destroyed the forest.”
