Zensur und Repression in der Türkei - taz Talk mit Nedim Türfent und Can Dündar
In the organizer's words:
What is the state of press freedom under Erdogan? A taz Talk with journalists Nedim Türfent and Can Dündar about their personal experiences.
Since the suppression of the attempted coup in 2016, the government and judiciary in Turkey have been cracking down harder than ever on critical journalists. Dozens have been sentenced to prison, some for many years, for their reporting, and many have been waiting for their sentences for years or are defending themselves against prison sentences on appeal. Others have fled abroad.
In the discussion in the taz Kantine, the challenges and threats faced by Turkish journalists are examined in detail. The journalists Nedim Türfent and Can Dündar will describe their personal experiences and provide insights into the situation of press freedom in Turkey.

Guest in the talk:
🐾 Nedim Türfent spent over six years in prison in Turkey after reporting on the mistreatment of Kurdish construction workers by the police. The Kurdish news agency Dicle Haber Ajansı, for which he had worked, was banned in 2016.
🐾 Can Dündar, also a journalist, was only able to escape a prison sentence of several years by fleeing to Germany. His work for the national daily Cumhuriyet, in particular his reports on the machinations of the Turkish militia, led Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to personally file criminal charges against him.
🐾 Jan Feddersen moderates the talk. He is taz editor for special assignments and curator of the taz lab and taz Talks and a member of PEN Berlin.
A taz Talk in friendly cooperation with Amnesty International.
