Bakirkoy Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor Zekeriya Oz's petition to refute two newspapers has been rejected by teh court.
Former Istanbul Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor Zekeriya Oz, who was re-assigned as the Bakirkoy Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor following the investigation launched after the Dec. 17 operation, regarding his domestic and international travels is shocked by the outcome of his refutation. Oz's petition to refute two newspapers has been rejected by the court.
Oz litigated to the Istanbul Magistrate's Court to refute the news published about him on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31, 2013 by two newspapers, on the grounds of "heavy insult on personal rights". The court dismissed Oz's application to refute as the application was not made in an orderly fashion.
The news Oz wanted to refute contained claims that Oz made illegal demands from Mustafa Demir, the Mayor of Fatih, a district in the historical peninsula of Istanbul, regarding a hotel in Beyazit, Fatih in addition to the claim that he is associated with the clandestine organization that carried out the Dec. 17 and Dec. 25 operations aimed at discrediting the ruling AK Party government.
