Turkish police block distribution of satire magazine covering Gülen

ISTANBUL

Turkish police blocked yesterday the distribution of a satire magazine’s special edition published after the July 15 failed coup attempt, in a move its editors believed was aimed at making it pay a price for its cartoons mocking and criticizing the organization suspected of planning the overthrow bid. 

Making an announcement on its Twitter account, Leman Magazine said: “Distribution of the #Leman magazine was blocked by police at [the] press house. We guess it is the cost for #Fetö cartoons appearing in the magazine and #Fetö covers we have made,” referring to the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization/Parallel State Structure (FETÖ/PDY).
