Women Press Freedom strongly condemns the alarming escalation of police violence against women journalists in Turkiye. We are particularly appalled by the recent brutal attack on respected journalist Pelşin Çetinkaya, who was detained and tortured while covering public protests against trustee appointments in Batman.

Women Press Freedom commends the court's decision to sentence a former intelligence director of Colombia's now-defunct Administrative Security Department (DAS) to 12 years in prison for his involvement in the persecution, harassment, and illegal actions against journalist Claudia Julieta Duque.

The conviction of José Miguel Narváez, former DAS deputy director, marks a crucial step toward justice for journalist Claudia Julieta Duque.
