Court in Turkey suspends ban on Twitter
Turkish users of Twitter are expected to regain access shortly after a court ordered the suspension of the ban on the social media site.
The court in the capital, Ankara, issued a stay of execution on last week's decision by the country's telecommunication authority (TIB).
Once the court informs the TIB, the ban is expected to be lifted.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to "wipe out Twitter" after users spread allegations of corruption.
