UN EXPERTS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED AT TURKEY'S CRACKDOWN ON YOUTUBE,
TWITTER BEFORE POLLSNew York, Mar 28 2014 2:00PMA group of
independent United Nations human rights experts today voiced serious
concern over the Turkish Government's measures, taken in the context
of upcoming elections, to prevent access to video-sharing website
YouTube, a week after social media platform Twitter was shut down.

"The right to freedom of opinion and expression is a central pillar of
modern democratic societies," the Special Rapporteur monitoring
protection of that fundamental right, Frank La Rue, said.

"Blocking access to YouTube and Twitter entirely unduly restricts this
fundamental right. This is all the more surprising following the
recent temporary court injunction against the blocking of Twitter," he
added in a <"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=14454&LangID=E">news
release.

He noted that concerns about national security can be legitimate, but
limitations to the freedom to seek, receive and impart information
must conform to the strict test of necessity and proportionality to
the aim pursued.

"International standards are clear: the free communication of
information and ideas about public and political issues among people,
candidates and elected representatives is essential," he stated.

According to media reports, a Turkish court this week overruled the
Government's ban of Twitter, but the website is still blocked. This
comes ahead of the nationwide municipal elections scheduled for
Sunday, the first polls since last year's anti-Government
demonstrations.

The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders,
Margaret Sekaggya, highlighted the key role of social media and access
to information for those who defend and promote human rights,
including by monitoring elections and public debate, and by raising
issues of public interest.

"Blocking access to Twitter and YouTube is also a severe blow to the
right to freedom of peaceful assembly, since social media is
increasingly used by people to mobilize and organize peaceful
protests, especially in the context of elections," the Special
Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of
association, Maina Kiai, pointed out.

"Such restrictions could undermine the legitimacy of the electoral
process and call into question the guarantees of free and fair
exercise of people's civil and political rights," they said.

Independent experts or special rapporteurs are appointed by the UN
Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation
or a specific human rights theme. The positions are honorary and the
experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work.Mar 28 2014
