An Istanbul court has ordered the 30-day closure of the newspaper Gündem for publishing two articles by Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Murat Karayilan. The paper was accused under Turkey's anti-terrorism law of spreading PKK propaganda. Its editor-in-chief Yüksel Genc says it is the fourth time this year his paper has been closed down. The same court, citing the same law, also fined two editors and a journalist with the newspaper Hürriyet for publishing an interview with Kurdish militants. (Via Bianet)
