Press freedom has come to an end in Turkey. Our newspaper is under attack because it has been voicing facts. Access to our daily’s website has been arbitrarily blocked due to our recent news reports on the government’s failure to fight ISIS. The Telecommunications Directorate (TİB), which has been turned into a party body by the ruling AKP, blocked access to our website (yenihayatgazetesi.com) without notice on Thursday at 8.30 p.m. At around the same time, access was blocked to the website of the Yarına Bakış daily and two other news websites, subuohaber.com and onyediyirmibes.com.

The latest lead story published in our paper was titled “150 ISIS suicide bombers are walking among us. Either capture them or resign.” This story was based on court records in the investigation of an ISIS suicide attack that killed 105 people on Oct. 10, 2015 in Ankara. Yeni Hayat brought the threat of the 150 potential suicide bombers named in the indictment to the public’s attention. The same story questioned why Interior Minister Efkan Ala has still not resigned from his post despite the fact that ISIS attacks have claimed more than 200 lives over the past year in Ankara, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, İstanbul and Suruç. Over the past one week, our daily also reported on praising ISIS on Türksat TV channels in Turkey, along with news pieces on ISIS recruiting centers in Turkey.

TİB initially announced on its website that it based its decision on Article 8 of Law 5651. However, this article stipulates blocking of publications that promote suicide, sexual abuse, drug use, prostitution and gambling. Having noticed that it is impossible to substantiate such an arbitrary move with this article, TİB later removed the statement from its website. The yenihayatgazetesi.com remains blocked, the decision apparently resting with TİB officials who are receiving orders from unnamed authorities.

We are concerned that the attacks on our daily, which began with the TİB decision, will not be limited to that. Having been targeted by social media accounts close to the government, we are concerned that other unlawful steps are likely to be taken against our daily. In fact, Turkey’s best-selling Zaman daily, as well as the Koza İpek Media Group and the Samanyolu Broadcasting Group, were earlier silenced by the government, leaving more than 2,000 journalists unemployed.
