The website of Turkey's third largest-selling newspaper has been blocked following a complaint by an Islamic creationist.

The case will revive concerns about the country's attitude towards internet censorship and press freedom.

A court ruled that Turkish web users should be denied access to the Vatan site after deciding it had insulted Adnan Oktar, a prolific writer who has disputed the theory of evolution.
