The file is “secret,” but the target is clear: journalism. On June 13, five journalists’ homes in Istanbul were raided under a confidential investigation. With a secrecy order in place, the charges remain unknown. Now, our colleagues are sent to court for arrest! #journalistsdetainedonsecretfile

Cypriot journalist @aysemden.bsky.social was threatened on April 30th. The following day a key person she interviewed was killed. This was an extensive interview containing serious allegations on mafia activities and connections both in Cyprus and Turkey. One month on, still no protection!

The police and courts cannot decide who is or isn’t a journalist. What’s really being targeted is the public’s right to know. Censorship disguised as “security” must be exposed. #JournalismCannotBeQuestioned We’ll follow the trial closely on Apr 18.

A leading Turkish journalist Timur Soykan was held by the police, couldn’t receive his award in person. “A mob within the judiciary, the state tries to prevent us from doing journalism. But we will not give up or yield. We’ll continue to report facts, safeguard press freedom.”

The detention of leading investigative journalists Timur Soykan and Murat Ağırel on charges of “threat and blackmail” is a clear attempt to silence critical reporting. In Turkey, those who expose the truth face intimidation—not protection. #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeJournalists #HandsOff
