(Ahval) One of Turkey’s largest diaspora groups in the United States has been suspended from Twitter for its targeting of basketball player Enes Kanter.
The Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC)’s Twitter account was suspended yesterday for allegedly coordinating a campaign of harassment against Kanter, who is accused by the Turkish government of being a follower of exiled preacher Fethullah Gulen.
“Erdogan’s propaganda machine in the U.S @ourtasc and a few of their members have been suspended on Twitter for trying to promote lies and slander,” Kanter’s manager Hank Fetic tweeted. “Must hurt when you cannot spew your lies in a free society.”
