Administrative fine

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposed a 1-percent administrative fine on Halk TV on January 11, 2023 on the grounds that “Ayşenur Arslan and Emin Çapa jokingly criticized a previous fine imposed on the channel for ‘praising terrorism with gestures’” (January 10).
