Constitutional Court: YouTube Ban is a "Right Violation"

Turkey's Constitutional Court ruled that the ban on YouTube imposed by TIB authorities was a "right violation".

The court is expected to send the ruling to Turkey's Telecommunication Authority (TIB) and Ministry of Transportation. 

The ban was imposed on March 27, 2014. 

On April 7, academicians Yaman Akdeniz and Kerem Altıparmak individually applied to Turkey's Constituational Court for the lifting of YouTube ban. 

The complaint request cited that the YouTube ban didn't only violate the freedom of expression but also individual right to freedom. (EKN/BM)
