On March 25, 2026, the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) General Assembly debated a motion submitted by the DEM Party calling for an investigation into obstacles to press freedom. DEM Party lawmakers drew attention to the investigations, detentions, and arrests targeting journalists in Turkey. AKP lawmakers argued that journalists were being prosecuted not because of their profession but because of the acts they had committed. The General Assembly rejected the motion with votes from the AKP and MHP.
