Next week is #WorldPressFreedomDay.
Journalists around the world are showing solidarity for jailed colleagues in #Turkey.
Why not tweet your own selfie with the #FreeTurkeyMedia hashtag #WPFD2018 #Journalismisnotacrime #FreeRightsDefenders #FreeThemAll
In pre-pandemic times, the #FreeTurkeyMedia campaign attended the @journalismfest
We displayed dozens of cartoons about jailed journalists in Turkey all around Perugia
We will be back at #IJF22 this week
#WPFD2022 #WPFD22 #WorldPressFreedomDay
One third of all journalists jailed in the world are imprisoned in #Turkey. At #IJF18 journalists from around the globe are showing their solidarity by tweeting a #FreeTurkeyMedia selfie. Please take a moment to do the same (or RT) because #Journalismisnotacrime #IJF2018
Turkey is experiencing what has been described by some as 'the death of journalism'
Writers risk criminal investigation, prosecution, intimidation, harassment & censorship
As journalists we cannot remain silent
TWEET #FreeTurkeyMedia. #ijf22 #InternationalJournalismFestival
This Friday, #OsmanKavala is back in court, in the latest and most absurd episode of his lawless treatment, his imprisonment on baseless charges of ‘espionage’ and trial for crimes against the state.
@amnesty’s @MilenaBuyum will be in court to observe.
This was @kuminaidoo in 2018 at the start of his brief time as Amnesty International Secretary General
Our colleague, #TanerKilic had just been released from jail
His ordeal did not end there & he could be taken back to prison on the same absurd charges, any day now...
I am so thrilled #TanerKilic is free at last. Taner, I look forward to the honour of meeting you, not in prison but with your family where you belong
Has @Apple gone purple today in support of the #IstanbulConvention?#IstanbulConventionSavesLives #istanbulsozlesmesiyasatir
5G. Ceramic Shield, tougher than any smartphone glass. Night mode on all cameras. An edge-to-edge OLED display. iPhone 12. Now in purple.

Human Rights Watch calls for the immediate release of writer and novelist Ahmet Altan on the 1500th day of his detention. No evidence against him, a campaign of persecution lasting over 4 years. #AhmetAltanaÖzgürlük #FreeAhmetAltan
◼️ Ahmet Altan 1500 gündür tutuklu
"Bugün, bir kez daha, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’ni Ahmet’in dört yıldır önlerinde duran dosyasını derhal karara bağlamaya çağırıyoruz."

On #AhmetAltan’s 1,500th day in prison, feeling the weight of what that means for a writer who has done nothing to be locked up for, but speak his mind, which in Turkey lands you in a prison for years, please read his book I Will Never See The World Again

Almost a week has passed since our friends Taner Kılıç, Özlem Dalkıran, İdil Eser and Günal Kurşun were convicted in the long running and unfair #Büyükada trial. Reactions to this unjust outcome are starting to flow: #Thread

They came expecting a verdict
Hoping for justice...
After waiting more than two-and-a-half years,
Their wait will have to continue.
"Please thank everyone for their solidarity!" they asked me.
