Ahmet Hakan Co

One the most troubling pieces of news to come out of Turkey this past week was an attack on Ahmet Hakan Co?kun, one of the country's top journalists. After presenting a show on CNNTürk, four men followed Co?kun's car all the way to his home before beating him in front of his apartment. He was seriously injured and hospitalized, and had to undergo surgery for his nose.

Ahmet Hakan Co?kun, one of Turkey?s most influential columnists and TV commentators, was severely beaten by four people in front of his house in Istanbul on Oct. 1, right after completing his debate show, ?The Neutral Zone,? on CNNTürk. The attackers have been detained by the police, with at least one of them an infamous Twitter personality who trolls users who are critical of the government.
