Unurtsetseg Naran has been unjustly sentenced to four years and nine months behind bars.

Russian-US journalist and author Masha Gessen was convicted in absentia by a Moscow court on charges of spreading false information about the military.

WPF denounces the court’s decision to convict Pınar Gayıp and Mehmet Acettin, journalists with the Etkin News Agency (ETHA), of “denigrating Turkishness” for their coverage of a lawyer accused of sexual harassment.

WPF stands in solidarity with French freelance journalists Céline Martelet and Édith Bouvier, who are harassed online — including being sent death threats — after being handed ten and twelve months of suspended imprisonment by the Paris Court of First Instance in a terrorism-related case.

WPF strongly condemns the sentencing of Nazlı Ilıcak, a journalist who has endured relentless legal harassment since the 2016 failed coup attempt.
