Censorship against Kurdish music and artists continues. Artist Rotinda's social media accounts were closed after they were targeted. Rotinda said that he had been threatened by the same groups of people close to the Turkish government for a long time. The artist said that access to his YouTube and Facebook accounts was blocked as a result of threats and blackmail, and added that his music cannot be blocked.

'There is intolerance for Kurdish music'

Rotinda said: "I have been singing for 35 years and these videos have been on the air since 1996. 'Why are they a problem now?' I wrote to YouTube, but they did not respond and closed my account. YouTube and Facebook administrators are discriminating. There is intolerance towards Kurdish culture and music. When I asked who made the decision to block them, they could not answer. My Facebook account was closed 6 months ago with the same excuse. We will expose this everywhere. We call on our people to protect Kurdish music."
