Journalists and women organisations were outraged about the Friday front page of the Habertürk daily that showed a drastic picture of a woman killed by her husband. The Press Council launched official procedures.

Reporters without Boarders condemned the punishment imposed on Haber Türk by the Radio and TV Supreme Council as "censorship pure and simple". RSF claimed that writer Nişanyan fulfilled his duty as a journalist and called on the council to withdraw the punishment.

The Radio and TV Supreme Council suspended the broadcast of a program on Haber Türk because writer Nişanyan thoughts on the "Armenian Genocide" supposedly exceeded the limits of criticism. Also the series "Lady's farm" was found "against the Turkish family structure".
