ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkish
prosecutors have launched an investigation into Dogan Media Group for
alleged “terrorism propaganda”, authorities said on Tuesday, a move
likely to deepen concern about media freedom to criticise government
policy.
The investigation comes just days after offices of one
Dogan newspaper, the mass circulation Hurriyet, was attacked by
pro-government mobs who accused it of sympathising with the banned
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) insurgent group.
Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin confirmed the investigation into Dogan but declined to give any details.
Turkey’s Anadolu Agency said the inquiry was launched on a
complaint from a pro-government newspaper, which cited the publication
of uncensored photographs of dead Turkish soldiers and an interview with
someone who later joined the PKK.
