A 23-year-old woman, who was detained for insulting Atatürk in a video that she captured in front of his memorial tomb in Ankara, has been arrested on charge of violating the Law on Offences Committed Against Atatürk.

After courts in Ankara and Sivas blocked access to the international video-sharing website in mid-January, a court in Izmir blocked access to the site again yesterday. The ban has now been lifted.
