T24 news website’s Ankara representative Gökçer Tahincioğlu was threatened by an unidentified person on social media after his article titled “Görünmeyenler ve görünenler” (Those who are not seen and those who are seen) regarding the abduction of a person named Gökhan Güneş in İstanbul was published. In threatening the journalist, the photo of Musa Anter, a journalist who was killed by the JİTEM in the 1990s, was used (February 1).
