Court orders access ban on DW journalist Alican Uludağ’s X account

A Turkish court has ordered an access ban on the X account of DW journalist Alican Uludağ and 13 of his posts, citing Article 8/A of Law No. 5651 to protect national security and public order. Uludağ, who works for the Turkish service of Germany's state media DW, was previously detained on July 21 for criticizing the judiciary and was later released under judicial control measures. The blocked posts include criticisms of judicial practices, inquiries into journalist investigations, and comments on political and military responsibilities related to the 2016 coup attempt. Other posts address issues such as the detention of journalists, pre-NATO summit arrests, and the killing of a suspected ISIS member. The court also restricted content questioning the actions of opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the imprisonment of Fatoş Pınar Türker, a municipal media executive.
