BBC Turkey mistakes women's identities in Soma blunder
ISTANBUL — During its coverage of the Soma mining accident, BBC Turkey ran a story by correspondent Rengin Arslan which has since sparked controversy across the country after two interviewees apparently misrepresented their identities.The article, said to cite the views of two miner's wives expressing their anger toward the AK Party government, was accompanied by a video of the two on scene at the Soma mine. The video shows them angrily stating that the incident was solely the responsibility of the ruling AK Party government and that the political party was using force to gain votes in Manisa province's town of Soma.
