Decision to block access

İstanbul Anadolu 6th Penal Court of Peace ruled in its decision dated March 8, to impose access ban on the report of the ANKA Agency that a project has been prepared to build 85 thousand new houses in 5 cities in the earthquake-hit region and that the projects were granted to the companies close to the government upon the request of the Optimal company. The court ruled that personal rights of the company had been violated. Access ban was imposed on a related tweet also in the scope of the ruling. ANKA Agency made an objection to the decision for the access ban (March 14).
