	TAKVA: HOW CAN THE PROSECUTOR LIKE THE DECISION?

	 

	Speaking to Artı Gerçek, journalist Ruşen Takva drew attention to the fact that the site in question shared the contents of the file with a confidentiality order. Emphasizing that the Van Chief Public Prosecutor liked the post leaking information on a file he, himself issued a confidentiality order for, Takva said: "This publication targeted our detained friends with information they couldn't have. Our criticizing this fact was presented to be a reason for us to be targeted too. I wonder, how does an attorney general, who is the highest prosecution authority in Van can like a leaked information on Twitter? What would the prosecutor do to me if I obtained information from a file that has a confidentiality order and wrote about it? Would he like my article, or would he show his 'appreciation' by getting the police knock down my door at dawn? I think this is exactly what the public should be discussing within the limits of law and democracy."
