Laporan: 25 ditahan di Turki untuk protes menghasut

ANKARA, Turki (AP) - agensi berita negeri yang dikendalikan Turki berkata, polis telah menahan 25 orang untuk "menyebarkan maklumat tidak benar" di media sosial dan protes memprovokasi.

Agensi Anadolu berkata Rabu orang telah ditahan di bandar Izmir kerana didakwa "menghasut rakyat untuk permusuhan dan kebencian." Ia berkata polis masih mencari 13 yang lain. Berpuluh-puluh ribu orang Turki telah menyertai protes anti-kerajaan menyatakan rasa tidak puas hati dengan pemerintahan Perdana Menteri Recep Tayyip Erdogan 10 tahun.

Media penyiaran utama Turki telah dikritik kerana menjauhi liputan keganasan polis pada permulaan protes pada hari Jumaat. Ramai orang beralih kepada media sosial untuk menyimpan up to date dengan perkembangan.

Erdogan, yang telah menolak bantahan sebagai demonstrasi yang dianjurkan oleh segelintir puak ekstremis, telah dirujuk kepada media sosial sebagai "ancaman yang paling buruk kepada masyarakat."

Report: 25 detained in Turkey for inciting protest

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey's state-run news agency says police have detained 25 people for "spreading untrue information" on social media and provoking protests.

The Anadolu Agency says Wednesday the people were detained in the city of Izmir for allegedly "inciting the people to enmity and hate." It said police were still looking for 13 others. Tens of thousands of Turks have joined anti-government protests expressing discontent with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 10-year rule.

Turkey's main broadcast media have been criticized for shunning the coverage of police brutality at the protest onset on Friday. Many people turned to social media to keep up to date with the developments.

Erdogan, who has dismissed the protests as demonstrations organized by an extremist fringe, has referred to the social media as "the worst menace to society."
