Turkey mutes the voices of the press.

Turkey does not want the people or the press to express their opinion and violate the democratic rights of the people and the oppression, and this is what the European Court said.

STRASBOURG, France (AFP) — Turkey violated the rights of a prominent journalist by denying her access to information into corruption allegations against four ministers in the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the European Court of Human Rights said Tuesday.

Turkish journalist Banu Guven brought the complaint to the ECHR, based in the French city of Strasbourg, after Turkish courts imposed a blackout on information about a parliamentary inquiry into the graft allegations.

The allegations of top-level graft, which emerged in December 2013, were seen as a major embarrassment for then prime minister Erdogan.
