A court in Turkey has blocked access to the website of the Fırat News Agency (ANF) on the grounds of protecting national security and the public order, the Bianet news website reported, citing the Freedom of Expression Association (İFÖD). ANF, based in Brussels and publishing in Turkish, Kurdish and English, has faced recurring restrictions for more than a decade. A 2014 ruling briefly restored access before another nationwide block on July 24, 2015. Danny O’Brien of the Committee to Protect Journalists once described the constant blocking of the ANF website in Turkey a “cat-and-mouse” game. Turkey was ranked the lowest-scoring country in Europe for online freedoms, according to a report from the Washington-based Freedom House last October.
