If convicted, the journalist will be sentenced to eight years and nine months in prison. The first hearing of the case will be held on October 13. The Coalition For Women in Journalism (CFWIJ) condemns the criminalization of the journalism profession in Turkey. The lawsuits against journalists are aimed at intimidation. We reiterate once again, journalism is not a crime.
