This week, another nine journalists were arrested as part of a larger group of 35 media workers. All have been accused of ‘membership of an armed terrorist organisation’. These arrests are just the latest in a continuing campaign that has seen around 150,000 workers suspended or sacked from their jobs since the attempted coup last July. The International Federation of Journalists has once again condemned this attack on journalist and media freedom by the Turkish government.
