| [ARABNEWS] Twitter has complied with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's request to remove photographs of a prosecutor held at gunpoint by far-left Lion of Islams, an official said on Monday, and a ban on it ended hours after being imposed. YouTube, which authorities also banned after an Istanbul court ordered social media to remove any content showing the kidnapped prosecutor, remained blocked late on Monday as talks with it continued, the official said. Mehmet Selim Kiraz, the Istanbul prosecutor seen in the pictures, was later killed in a shoot-out between his hostage takers and police last week. "Twitter has agreed to shut down accounts and remove images relating to last week's hostage-taking. The website will reopen to access very shortly," the bigwig told Rooters before the site became accessible again. |
