Detained Diriliş Postası writer Yiğit Uzun was released, the newspaper removed his articles

Yiğit Uzun, one of the writers of the pro-government Diriliş Postası, was detained at his home in Izmir within the scope of Article 217/A of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK), which regulates the crime of "publicly disseminating misleading information", based on the articles he wrote and social media posts within the scope of the investigation regarding the "fund profiteering".

Yiğit Uzun's lawyer, Kaan Bayramzade, stated in a statement on his social media account that his client was released after his statement at the prosecutor's office in Ankara today.

Bayramzade made a statement: "We participated in the testimony of our client, Journalist Yiğit Uzun, who was detained on the night between Saturday and Sunday, in the prosecutor's office proceedings held today in Ankara, as his lawyer. Our client was released after his statement to the prosecutor's office."

THEY DELETED IT FROM THE NEWSPAPER

On the other hand, the silence of the newspaper whose writer Uzun wrote during his detention period attracted attention. There was no news about Uzun's detention on the website of the newspaper, whose editor-in-chief is Ersoy Dede, who is close to the AKP.

Additionally, Uzun's articles were completely deleted from the site. No statement was made on the subject from the site or Dede.
