Seyhan Avşar, a reporter for Halk TV’s web portal, has announced that she was threatened after reporting on the testimony of a “hired gun” working for Alaattin Çakıcı, a convicted organized crime leader.
“I was threatened after reporting on April 23 that Barış Duyu was nabbed with 16 kilos of heroin and said in his testimony that he had been working for the intelligence services for years. I will file a complaint on Monday. However, if something happens to me, I want it to be known who is responsible for that.” wrote Avşar on her Twitter account on May 19 (May 20).
