In a statement, the publisher added: “We have requested further clarification from Facebook as to the reasons for our page’s removal, but have thus far received no response. The deletion of its page followed a series of posts on both books, Zed says. It has also published The PKK: Coming Down from the Mountains, a book by Paul White, which examines the evolution of the party. Zed Books recently published Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy by Ece Temelkuran, a journalist who was fired from Turkey’s Habertürk newspaper in 2012 for criticising the government’s killing of 35 Kurdish civilians. We’ve not yet had confirmation that this content is permitted on Facebook.” “We’ve also asked for clarification regarding Facebook’s community standards specifically, whether we can continue to promote academic titles on the PKK, post maps and images of Kurdistan, refer to Abdullah Öcalan and make posts that may contain criticism of the Erdoğan government on Facebook. We’re happy to acknowledge that this is the case. We are in contact with them to help understand what has happened and to resolve the situation.”įollowing Facebook’s statement, Zed Books said “Facebook have been in contact and told us they did not remove our page. After the Guardian contacted Facebook over the issue, Facebook got in touch with Zed Books, and told the Guardian: “Facebook has not taken Zed Books page down. It said its attempts to contact Facebook for an official statement on why its page was removedhad gone unanswered, and that it had been given no timeframe for recovering it. Zed Books, an independent publisher founded in 1976, found its Facebook page deleted outright on Tuesday, without any warning or notification.
