Turkish police arrested the online editor of the Cumhuriyet newspaper on Friday, an unidentified police official said.
Oguz Guven, the editor-in-chief of cumhuriyet.com.tr, was taken to Istanbul police headquarters, the official said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.
The official said an arrest warrant was issued for Guven after the online edition published an article about the death of Mustafa Alper, the chief prosecutor of Denizli province, in southwest Turkey, who was killed in a car crash on Wednesday.
Early on Friday, Guven tweeted, "I am being taken into custody", without elaborating further.
Sigh. Poor Turkey.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Turkey has issued arrest warrants for more than 85 people in the Energy and Education ministries. [dw.com] today. Already 50 000 people has been targeted this way in all professions.
Seems so similar to another state that rounded people up, reformed school to a indoctrination system, forced people into a belief system, used political courts etc. Only need a few more actions to have the full replica.
