Amnesty International Calls for Press Freedom in Turkey
Amnesty International has issued a new call for the protection of press freedom in Turkey and an end to the pressure exerted on journalists. The organization stated that the targeting of journalists, particularly those reporting on corruption, is a serious issue.
In the published report, it was emphasized that the difficulties faced by journalists while reporting have negative effects on society. The institution addressed the authorities, stating that journalistic activities must not be obstructed.
In the statement, it was noted that journalists feeling under pressure leads to "self-censorship." It was recorded that this situation restricts the public's right to access information and undermines transparency.
Amnesty International argues that legal regulations and practices must be reviewed so that members of the press in Turkey can work in a safe environment. This call holds an important place in the discussions regarding the media landscape and freedom of expression in Turkey.
