BirGün Files Criminal Complaint Against Yeni Akit Writer Zekeriya Say for Targeting Toprak

The newspaper BirGün has taken a significant step by filing a criminal complaint against Zekeriya Say, a writer for the publication Yeni Akit. BirGün asserts that Say has been systematically targeting an individual named Toprak, creating a situation that necessitates legal action.

This move by BirGün is not just a response to perceived harassment but also a call to the public for solidarity. The newspaper has organized a gathering outside the Çağlayan Courthouse on Tuesday, May 12th, at 12:00 PM, urging citizens to show their support. This public appeal highlights the gravity with which BirGün views the situation and its desire for broader awareness and backing.

Adding another layer to this case, BirGün also brought attention to the fact that Toprak's father, Hasan Toprak, was removed from his position as deputy director at an institution affiliated with the Provincial Directorate of Family and Social Services in Bursa. This detail suggests a potential pattern of repercussions or targeted actions extending beyond the immediate issue with Zekeriya Say, indicating a potentially wider network of influence or pressure.
