Turkey’s government removed a ban on Twitter access under orders from the country’s top court, two weeks after it blocked the microblogging website to stop alleged leaks from a graft probe.
Turkey’s Information Technology and Communications Board said in an e-mailed statement that it lifted the curbs in order to comply with yesterday’s Constitutional Court ruling, which said it was a violation of freedom of expression. Twitter was accessible in Turkey as of 7 p.m. local time.
