Istanbul Bar Association board dismissed over ‘terror propaganda’
The Istanbul Bar Association’s executive board was dismissed on Friday on grounds of “making propaganda for a terrorist organization” and “publicly spreading false information,” a lawyers’ association says.
Prosecutors had filed suit against the bar association on January 15 after it demanded an investigation into the deaths of two journalists from Turkey’s Kurdish-majority southeast who were killed in northern Syria.
