Turkish authorities blocked access to Twitter, YouTube and briefly to
Facebook over the publication of photos of the prosecutor taken hostage
and killed by militants in Istanbul last week.
Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said a prosecutor sought the ban on social media after the photos’ release.
"This has to do with the publishing of the prosecutor's picture. What happened in the aftermath (of the prosecutor's killing) is as grim as the incident itself," he said, Reuters reports.
"The demand from the prosecutor's office is that this image not be used anywhere in electronic platforms," Kalin told a news conference in Ankara.
