Turkish media have mapped more people in Sweden

2022-12-19T09:53:25.964Z


Turkish media loyal to the regime have mapped even more people in Sweden, DN reports. In November, the Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah published the names, pictures and addresses of five people in Sweden. Murat Centiner, who is one of those whom Turkey wants Sweden to extradite, was secretly photographed when he went for a walk with his wife.


The Kurdish Democratic Society Center (NCDK) in Stockholm was visited by people who claimed to be Kurds living in Finland in June this year.

Later it turned out that they worked for the regime loyalist newspaper Daily Sabah.

In an article in the newspaper, the NCDK was described as a "headquarters" for terrorist organizations in Sweden and a base for the PKK and PYD.

Sabah's journalist who was responsible for the article about the NCDK has not only disparaged Swedish Kurds.

DN's review shows that he also mapped people in Greece, Denmark and Germany.

Exiled journalist Cevheri Güven was hanged with his name and address in Sabah in September, with photos taken by Simsek.

The case is being investigated by German police, according to DN.

- The purpose of revealing where I live was to make me a target for fanatics and other criminals.

After the publication, I had to take measures to be able to continue my work, and to keep myself and my family safe, says Cevheri Güven.

Stalked when he went for a walk

Five people in Sweden were hanged in November, writes DN, who has been in contact with all of them.

Murat Cetiner, is one of the people that Turkey wants Sweden to extradite.

He was a former police chief in Turkey and is accused by Turkey of having led "a terrorist organization" and having connections to the Gülen movement.

The Supreme Court in Sweden has ruled that Cetiner cannot be deported because he risks persecution in Turkey.

The government has not yet made a decision in the cases of Cetiner and three other people that are on their table.

Murat Cetiner and his wife were secretly photographed while out for a walk in October and the photos were published in Sabah.

- I didn't notice that someone was taking pictures of us, but then I saw it in the newspaper.

No one came forward and asked us questions like a normal journalist does.

In the details they published in the newspaper, you understand that they followed us from our home to the lake, Murat Centiner tells SVT Nyheter.

- I am sorry that these problems are now coming from Turkey to peaceful Sweden.

They are trying to use me and others as means of putting pressure on Sweden, says Cetiner.

SVT Nyheter has previously told about the exiled journalist Bülent Kenes, whom Turkey also wants extradited, who was mapped by Sabah.

The information about his existence in Sweden was presented as a scoop despite the fact that he does not have a hidden address or lives in hiding.

- I'm not hiding in Sweden.

I am a public figure here and do several interviews.

My address is public, Kenes told SVT Nyheter then.
