Non-prosecution for the investigation launched by Yılmaz and Akbaş: Journalists İdris Yılmaz and Erhan Akbaş filed a criminal complaint at the Erciş Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office over the incident where they were attacked by the contractor whom they had met for news and his relatives in Erciş district in Turkey’s Van province on October 14, 2017. A decision of non-prosecution was given for their criminal complaint three years later. The prosecutor’s office indicated that there were no impartial witnesses of the incident and gave a decision of non-prosecution on the grounds that “there was no ground for prosecution” (June 4).
