RTÜK Imposes Penalties on Media for Gezi Park Broadcasts!

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) sent the broadcast records of six television channels related to the Gezi Park protests to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. This situation reignites discussions about media control and censorship.
Ayşe Barım was arrested on charges related to her participation in the Gezi Park protests. RTÜK forwarded the records of Cem TV, Flash TV, Halk TV, Kanal D, FOX TV, and Samanyolu Haber to the prosecutor's office.

RTÜK stated that some television channels aimed to legitimize the Gezi Park events and requested their broadcast records. This situation raises debates about media independence and freedom of expression.

RTÜK imposed penalties on some channels for broadcasting violations. These penalties were applied due to content that contradicts societal values. Media control and censorship continue to be contentious issues.
