Turkey court reigns in anti-Erdogan daily

An Istanbul court yesterday ordered into administration a Turkish daily newspaper that is sharply critical of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, amid growing alarm over freedom of expression in the country. The Zaman newspaper was ordered into administration by the court on the request of Istanbul prosecutors. The move means the court will appoint new managers to run the newspaper, who will be expected to transform its editorial line, analysts say.
