Yesterday, a lively night was experienced following the call for gathering made by the CHP Istanbul Youth Branch towards the Istanbul Provincial Headquarters building, which was appointed a trustee by court decision.

PROTEST MARCH AND EVENTS WERE BANNED

Following the call, the Istanbul Governorship banned press statements, rallies, marches, and events in 6 districts of the city until September 10 at 23:59. After the decision, riot police surrounded the provincial building; scuffles occurred in some places. Tension reached its peak with the arrival of Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as the trustee, at the Istanbul Provincial Headquarters building.

BANDWIDTH RESTRICTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA APPLICATIONS

Meanwhile, during the evening hours when protest calls were made, access issues were experienced on social media applications. Users who had trouble accessing popular platforms such as X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Telegram struggled to access these applications without using a VPN. Experts stated that this situation was related to "bandwidth restriction" practices.

LIFTED AFTER 21 HOURS

As the day progressed and the tension across the country decreased, the access restrictions on social media platforms were gradually lifted. Users were able to access their social media accounts again without the need for any additional applications.

GRADUAL NORMALIZATION IN ACCESS

Authorities stated that there might still be some differences in access levels among internet service providers. However, it is generally expected that the connections will return to normal completely throughout the day.
