Özel criticized the closure decision, stating that citizens' freedoms are being taken away.
Özgür Özel stated that citizens' freedom and their money in the bank are not safe under the AKP government.
YENİ Party Chairman Özgür Özel used the following expressions:
In the AKP's chaotic order; neither your freedom, nor your money in the bank, nor your right to receive news is safe.
A fund crisis is erupting; news is being blocked.
Citizens' social media accounts are being shut down one by one.
Now, a closure decision is being issued against the website and social media accounts of T24, where dozens of journalists and media workers are employed.
In a country whose constitution states, “The press is free and cannot be censored,” a publishing organization from which millions receive news is being locked down by a criminal judgeship of peace decision for flimsy reasons.
First, they targeted T24 for days. Then, they signed off on this decision that once again embarrasses our country.
This is no way to run a state.
This mistake must be corrected as soon as possible.
We have never surrendered to this pressure, to this authoritarian mindset, and we never will.
