The late Kurdish journalist Rohat Aktas
TURKEY launched criminal investigations against the editor-in-chief of a now banned Kurdish newspaper today, despite his death in a state massacre in the country’s south-east in 2016.
Diyarbakir’s chief public prosecutor’s office opened proceedings against Rohat Aktas, who was the regional editor of the Azadiya Welat, Turkey’s only Kurdish-language daily newspaper.
The paper was one of hundreds shut down by presidential decree in 2016 under the state of emergency introduced after a failed military coup.
