The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has fined Halk TV over the remarks of politician Fikri Sağlar about veiled judges and TELE 1 channel over the remarks of a program host accusing the Presidency of Religious Affairs.

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched an ex officio investigation against Fikri Sağlar on charge of “inciting the public to enmity and hatred.”

The Court of Appeals decided that journalist Fikri Sağlar did what was necessary within the scope of press freedom and thus rejected the demands of former Chief of General Staff Büyükanıt and his wife. They had claimed compensation on the grounds of a news item the journalist had written.

Columnist Fikri Sağlar of daily Birgün and the newspaper itself are fined in the amount of 8500 euro for writing about the questionable meeting between the Prime Minister and Büyükanıt, Chief of Staff at the time.
