A reporter from the Millet daily, which is among those critical media outlets that were targeted on Wednesday by a harsh police raid as part of a government-led media crackdown, has shared his yellow press card covered in blood via social media.

The reporter, Mustafa Kılıç, was injured while resisting police who entered his office during the police raids on a number of critical media outlets including Kanaltürk and Bugün TV channels, and Bugün and Millet newspapers early on Wednesday. He shared a photo that shows his bloodied hands along with his blood-splattered press card via his Twitter account on Wednesday morning.

Turkish riot police stormed the headquarters of İpek Media Group in İstanbul shortly after dawn on Wednesday.

During the raids, Turkish police broke through gates and stormed the headquarters of İpek Media Group located in the Mecidiyeköy neighborhood of İstanbul amid brawls. Several reporters were injured as they were handcuffed from behind by riot police.
