Turkish police raid Halk TV in Istanbul, sparking outrage over media freedom

Financial crime investigators searched the building, forcing a temporary suspension of broadcasts. Prosecutors accused the channel's chairman, Cafer Mahiroglu , of bid rigging, bribery and money laundering. Of the 17 people sought by investigators, 11 were detained.
