The Silivri Criminal Judgeship of Peace has imposed an access block on the news which alleged that Confederation of Nationalist Trade Unions (MİSK) former Chair Ömer Faruk Akıncı’s son Mustafa Bilgehan Akıncı, who threatened Republican People’s Party (CHP) İstanbul Provincial Chair Canan Kaftancıoğlu, was penalized on charge of murder and torture. According to the Freedom of Expression Association, the access block no. 2021/4039, which has been imposed on the grounds of “violating personal rights”, has affected the Artı Gerçek, Duruş Haber and Pencere Haber news websites (September 30).
