Deutsche Welle Files Suit Against Turkish Ministry

DW has filed a lawsuit in a civil court in Ankara for the return of video footage of an interview with the Turkish Minister for Youth and Sports.
The material was confiscated and all appeals for its return have failed.
On September 5, DW TV host Michel Friedman interviewed Turkish Youth and Sports Minister Akif Cagatay Kilic for DW’s Conflict Zone.
Their exchange touched on the fallout from July’s coup attempt, as well as press freedom and the status of women.
Following the recording, a Turkish government spokesperson instructed DW not to air the interview while the video was confiscated by ministry staff when Friedman protested.
All attempts by Deutsche Welle to get Turkish authorities to return the footage were ignored, prompting the German international broadcaster to file a lawsuit at a court in Ankara.
