In Samandağ, Hatay Province, a Yeni Demokrasi reader was arrested during a routine check and detained after 11 copies of the left-wing revolutionary newspaper were found in his possession. The case was referred to the political police and the public prosecutor, and the reader was questioned about the newspaper’s content, particularly regarding the mention of leaders of the TKP/ML (Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist). He was held for four hours before being released and will have to appear before the prosecutor. Similar incidents recently occurred in Sarıgazi, Istanbul, where readers and vendors distributing the newspaper were harassed and filmed by police, illustrating the pressure to restrict the newspaper’s distribution.
