Known for his street interviews on “İlave TV” channel on YouTube, Arif Kocabıyık and his camera operator were attacked while they were filming in Antalya Kapalı Yol.

While Kocabıyık argued that they were attacked by a group who introduced themselves as [far-right] idealists, he also announced that he would receive a medical report documenting the battery and file a criminal complaint (February 25).
