Access ban decision for journalists Rojda Altıntaş and Arif Kocabıyık

An access ban has been imposed from Turkey on the X account of Arif Kocabıyık, known for İlave TV, and the Instagram account of journalist Rojda Altıntaş.

Following the access ban decision, Rojda Altıntaş stated on her X account: "I have been subjected to insults and slander for months. I ignored most of them, responded to some, and reported others, but nothing came of it. When I write a single word of insult, I end up at the police station. I gave a statement last week, and I was called in for another statement today. I am tired, I am exhausted. On top of that, an access ban is being imposed in Turkey on my Instagram account where I share flowers and insects. I really don't understand what is wanted..."

Kocabıyık, following the decision, posted: "Even if you shut us down 1000 times, we will not be silenced."
