Türkiye: Kadın Gazetecilerin Davaları Ertelenmeye Devam Ediyor – Cumhuriyet Gazetesi Çalışanlarının Davası 1 Aralık’a Ertelendi
Cumhuriyet gazetesi muhabiri Hazal Ocak, sorumlu yazı işleri müdürü Olcay Büyüktaş, yazı işleri müdürü İpek Özbey ve foto-muhabiri Vedat Arık hakkında “terörle mücadelede görev almış kişileri hedef göstermek” ve “özel hayatın gizliliğini ihlal” suçlamalarıyla yargılandığı davanın üçüncü duruşması İstanbul’da görüldü. Duruşma savcısı gazetecilerin cezalandırılmasını talep etti. Mahkeme, gazetecilerin savcılık talebine karşı savunmalarını hazırlamaları için ek süre vererek, bir sonraki duruşmayı 1 Aralık 2021 tarihine erteledi. Gazetecilikte Kadın Koalisyonu (CFWIJ) olarak açılan davaların gazetecilere değil gazetecilik mesleğine yönelik bir saldırı olduğunun farkındayız. Türk devletinden gazetecileri baskı altına almaya çalışmaktan vazgeçmeye çağırıyoruz. Yineliyoruz: Gazetecilik suç değildir.
Turkey: Trials Against Women Journalists Continue To Be Adjourned – Cumhuriyet’s Journalists Must Be Acquitted Of All Charges Immediately
The trial of Cumhuriyet newspaper reporter Hazal Ocak, managing editor Olcay Büyüktaş Akça, editor-in-chief İpek Özbey and photo-journalist Vedat Arık was held for the third time in İstanbul. The court adjourned the hearing to December 1, 2021, once again. Journalists face 14 years of prison sentence if they are convicted. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) finds filing unjust trials against journalists is a vicious attack on press freedom. We call the Turkish state to end the intimidation of journalists by legally harassing them. We reiterate once again that journalism is not a crime.
