On the morning of 6 January, copies of “Ozgur Ulke” were seized
from the newspaper’s distribution centre. Editions of “Ozgur
Ulke” have been seized in the past, but it has always been
possible to obtain copies of the editions in their first hours at
newsstands. The 6 January seizure marks the first time since the
foundation of the newspaper (26 April 1994) that the paper has
been seized as it left the presses, preventing anyone from
reading it.
