Issuing blocking order in connection with two YouTube video clips involving a suspect who was under custody for interrogation. It was alleged that the clips had been broadcasted by other media institutions and their availability on YouTube were prejudicial to the Public Prosecutor’s case and were in breach of article 157 (Confidentiality of  interrogation) of the Turkish Criminal Procedure Law, and Regulation on Arrest, Custody and Questioning. The Court, however, did not discuss whether there was legal basis to restrict freedom of expression.
