A Turkish court orders the independent news portal T24’s website and related social media accounts to be blocked, according to Turkey’s Justice Ministry and multiple outlets. The order cites content described as “LGBT propaganda.”
The court decision is reported as part of a broader crackdown on dissent and independent media. Al-Monitor and the Jerusalem Post frame the move as continuing pressure on outlets that publish content viewed as sensitive by authorities. The Cyprus Mail report adds that the ruling follows earlier arrests in Turkey linked to an investigation targeting LGBTQ+ groups, described as “My Family is Safe.”
While outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some highlight the media crackdown and others focus on the LGBTQ+ related justification—they all describe the same core action: a court-linked ban on T24 and the grounds authorities give for it. The reports do not indicate that T24’s specific content or the exact legal reasoning beyond the “LGBT propaganda” label is publicly detailed.
