The number of journalists in pretrial detention on the basis of their writing and journalistic activities surged to 144 by mid-November, making Turkey once again a world leader in jailing journalists.”
- Currently, more than a dozen journalists at Cumhuriyet, a leading opposition newspaper in Turkey, are charged with aiding a terrorist organization, and face up to 43 years in prison.
- More than 160 journalists have already been imprisoned in Turkey without trial, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
