Dicle News Agency (DİHA) has been censored for 28th time.

The DİHA website which has been blocked 28th time as of July 25 was operating in dihahaber.pw address.

Çağdaş Kaplan among DİHA editors announced the censor decision. “DİHA is being censored as far as it reports truth”, wrote Kaplan.

Kaplan speaking to bianet said the ban has been issued a short while after their report titled “Here is the document ‘specific’ to the massacre” was released.

The report, about which Kaplan says “The ban being issued right after releasing it demonstrates how truth is trying to be concealed, is about the phrases “The consequence of staff that refrained from using his gun due to the fear of appearing before prosecutor might be heavy”. (EA/TK)
