Istanbul 9th Criminal Judicature of Peace brought an access ban on the news regarding vocal artist Sevim Tanürek’s death. Tanürek had lost her life in 1998 after being hit by a car which was driven by President Erdağan’s son Burak Erdoğan.
The case of Tanürek’s death was recently reawakened due to the speeches of Republican People’s Party (CHP) Presidential candidate Muharrem İnce and President Erdoğan targeting each other at electoral rallies. Access to news published on many news websites including Diken, Cumhuriyet, Ahval and Yeniçağ restating how the Sevim Tanürek murder happened by quoting İnce on his rally speech implying that Burak Erdoğan has caused Tanürek’s death was banned.
In the rally organized on the weekend in Yenikapı, Istanbul, Erdoğan has stated that İnce didn’t pay the insurance of teachers at the time he was a school director in Yalova. İnce, on the other hand, replied to Erdoğan by saying, “If you want, let’s look into into the murder of Sevim Tanürek.”
