Kapatılan Taraf gazetesinin eski yöneticisi Yasemin Çongar'ın yargılandığı dava 37’nci kez ertelendi. Mahkeme, 14. Ağır Ceza Mahkemesi tarafından incelenen reddi hâkim talebinin kesinleşmesini beklemeye karar verdi. Bir sonraki duruşmayı 21 Ocak 2022’ye erteledi. Gazetecilikte Kadın Koalisyonu (CFWIJ) olarak altı yıldır karara ulaşmayan hukuki sürecin adil bir yargılama ile sonuçlanmasını diliyoruz. Türk yetkililerden gazeteciliğin suç olmadığını tekrar hatırlatıyor, yargılanan gazetecilerin beraatını talep ediyoruz.

The hearing of the fabricated terror-related case against former Taraf executive Yasemin Çongar and other journalists of the shuttered newspaper was adjourned for the 37th time on Friday. The court decided to wait for the decision on defendant Mehmet Baransu’s request, pending before another court, to change the committee of judges hearing the case. The next hearing is now slated for January 21, 2022. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) condemns the prolonged trial the journalists have been subjected to for six years. We urge the Turkish authorities and judiciary to ensure a fair trial and drop all bogus charges filed against the journalists based on their critical reporting. We remind the Turkish authorities once again that journalism is not a crime and call for the acquittal of Yasemin and other journalists of the liberal news outlet.

State authorities continue to persecute women journalists in the country in an attempt to silence the valid human rights concerns they raise. On September 26, Narges Mohammadi confirmed that the courts have sentenced her to prison due to the nature of her work. Less than a month later on October 20, Mehrnoush Tafian's prison sentence was also announced by judicial authorities. The country has a long and worrying history of targeting and silencing women journalists by subjecting them to long prison sentences and the latest example of sentencing two journalists for merely doing their job adds to this concerning trend.
