Erkan Baş reacts to Halk TV over 'Can Atalay': 'There is no explanation for censorship'
Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP) Chairman Erkan Baş has reacted to Halk TV cutting off the speech of Gezi Park trial convict Can Atalay during its broadcast of the CHP rally in Silivri.
TİP Chairman Erkan Baş reacted to the interruption of Can Atalay's speech during the Halk TV broadcast.
Baş stated, "There is no explanation for censoring a message sent to a live-broadcast rally by a member of parliament who is being held in prison unlawfully."
Erkan Baş's social media post is as follows:
"Let me respond to our citizens who are rightfully asking what happened following our party's post by sharing this video.
We have no requests for speaking time, a podium, or programs from any media organization, and we never will. However, there is no explanation for censoring a message sent to a live-broadcast rally by a member of parliament who is being held in prison unlawfully.
Even if you shut down the entire internet, we will communicate with smoke signals and continue the struggle. However, I do not know how those who committed this shameful act will explain the difference between themselves and pro-government media!"
Let me respond to our citizens who are rightfully asking what happened following our party's post by sharing this video.
