A new investigation has been launched by the Mardin Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on the grounds of his news and social media posts about Mesopotamia Agency reporter Ahmet Kanbal. The journalist is accused of “public incitement to hatred and hostility” due to the news about rape perpetrators expert sergeants, some irregularities regarding the trustee period, and the news about the Mardin Governorate’s ban against theater plays in Kurdish. In the file, the journalist was also charged due to his posts about Ceylan Önkol, Uğur Kaymaz, Hacı Lokman Birlik and Syrian Ali Al Hamdani, who were killed by the law enforcement, and his criticism of the statement of Justice and Development Party (AKP) Parliament Deputy Chairman Numan Kurtulmuş with the words, “It is immoral to invest the Turkish lira given to him by the state in foreign currency” regarding the increasing exchange rates.
