TROn July 1, 2026, the Turkish Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK) blocked access to several Kurdish media outlets, including the Kurdish-focused website Nûmedya24, the Azadiya Welat newspaper, and the Ajansa Welat agency. The block also included the official X accounts of Nûmedya24 and Ajansa Welat. Nûmedya24 reported that the website was blocked without a court order or justification, and the BTK provided an administrative decision number confirming the action. Earlier, on December 13, 2024, Nûmedya24’s X account was also restricted under Turkey’s Internet Law No. 5651, though the account remained accessible internationally.
