Turkish police have detained 162 people accused of posting controversial content online about two deadly school shootings that took place this week.
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek accused accounts of sharing footage of the incidents, spreading content capable of creating fear and praising crime.
At least 16 people were injured in a shooting at a high school in the country's south-east on Tuesday, before another nine were killed in a shooting at another school in the city of Kahramanmaras on Wednesday.
Hundreds have gathered near the city's main mosque for the funerals of the young victims, which are being held on Thursday.
One victim has been identified as 10-year-old Zeynep. Her uncle, Mahmut, told the BBC that she was a clever girl who respected others. He said: Now she is an angel, she flew away. He expressed a desire for better protection in schools following the attack.
The aunt of another victim, Shura, shared her heartbreak, revealing she learned of her 10-year-old niece's death when her name was read aloud on the news.
Turkey's Minister of Justice stated that restrictions have been placed on 1,104 social media accounts and that another 67 people have been detained for sharing posts suggesting further attacks on schools.
The two shootings have raised grave concerns regarding school safety in Turkey, with calls for increased security measures following these tragic incidents.
