Ergin Çevik, the Editor-in-Chief of Antalya-based Güney Haberci news website, was attacked by three people in Aksu, Antalya. Being intercepted and battered by three people in front of a restaurant, Çevik previously reported that a bazaar area formerly contracted to a third party by the municipality was not emptied despite a court ruling.

Speaking after the incident, Çevik stated that he filed a criminal complaint against the attackers, but two people detained in relation with the incident were released on probation after deposing to the Prosecutor’s Office.
