According to International Press Institute (IPI) currently a total
of 171 journalists are imprisoned in Turkey due to their journalistic
activities.
The international media watchdog called for immediate release of jailed
journalists in Turkey in its website while displaying cases of all 171
reporters and charges against them on Friday.
IPI runs a social media campaign under hashtag #FreeTurkeyJournalists in
an effort to raise awareness about the grave media freedoms situation
in Turkey which has become the biggest jailer of journalists in the
world.
Although numbers of imprisoned journalists vary according to different
criteria by different media watchdogs, there is consensus that Turkey
has drifted into a severely oppressive regime particularly since the
massive corruption investigations of December 2013 and the botched coup
attempt on July 15, 2016.
Turkey has been undertaking a massive purge since the coup attempt that
is not limited to journalists. Thousands of academics, judges,
prosecutors, lawyers, teachers and doctors are behind bars over charges
of coup involvement.
