TURKEY: Police raided the Istanbul offices of Turkish news outlet Sendika in the early hours of yesterday morning in relation to investigations against its editor Ali Ergin Demirhan.
Mr Demirhan was arrested on April 20 2017 for “trying to make referendum results seem illegitimate,” following a controversial vote marred by accusations of electoral fraud.
The website, which covers news from the labour and progressive movements, has been blocked 61 times since it was founded in 2001.
