The Dicle Fırat Journalists Association (DFG) has published its report on rights violations for November. According to the report, 15 journalists were sentenced to a total of 17 years and 5 months in prison; 8 journalists were detained, 8 journalists were prosecuted, and 14 journalists were subject to new investigations. The report stated that journalists were detained without evidence, faced heavy penalties, and that news coverage was systematically obstructed by the police. In November, while 79 journalists were on trial in 46 cases, 8 journalists were acquitted. The DFG described the new case against JINNEWS News Director Öznur Değer and the postponement of journalist Ali Barış Kurt’s release on the grounds that he was “not remorseful” as arbitrary practices.
