Atılım Newspaper Seized 3 Times in 1 Month
The 24 March issue of the weekly Atılım newspaper was confiscated on the grounds of "making propaganda for an illegal organization". Also the issues from 3 and 10 March were seized for the same reason.
This year's fifth issue of the weekly Atılım ('Progress') newspaper dated 24 March 2012 was confiscated.
The Adana 7th High Criminal Court based the seizure on news and photographs of the issue that was published under the headline "Newroz, rebellion, freedom". The weekly is alleged of having spread "propaganda for an illegal organization".
The second and third 2012 issues of the Atılım newspaper dated 3 and 10 March had previously been confiscated by reason of alleged "propaganda for the Marxist Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) and "encouragement to armed action and procedures".
According to the AtilimHaber.org website, the distribution of the newspaper has been obstructed by the police before.
The daily Özgür Gündem ('Free Agenda') newspaper was handed a one-month publication ban for its 24 March issue on the grounds of "propaganda for an illegal organization". Copies of that day's and the subsequent day's issue were confiscated. (NV)
