The 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance of Istanbul on July 2 sentenced two journalists from Yurt daily to a judicial fine of TL 20,000 on grounds of a news photo featured in a March 2016 edition of the newspaper.
The court found Yurt editors Bahadır Akdeniz and Sibel Köklü guilty because they failed to blur the face of a child victim of a March 19, 2016, suicide attack by ISIS on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street in the said photo.
