Facebook closes ANF English page

The social network Facebook has closed the ANF English page as part of the growing pressures against Kurdish free press all around the world.

The Facebook page of ANF English service with thousands of followers has been closed on the grounds of violating Community Standards with images of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan and freedom fighters from the PKK. The closure of the page came after it was repeatedly barred from posting for days and posts containing such images were removed in line with Community Standards.

The account of the ANF English service had also been closed last year for the same reason.

We as ANF English administration vow to continue our work and free press will not be silenced.

The new official Facebook page of ANF English service is https://www.facebook.com/ANF-English-320680528322240/
