| Summary: | "The "'Silencing Turkey' Media: The Government's Deepening Assault on Critical Media,'" documents five important components of the crackdown on independent domestic media in Turkey, including the use of the criminal justice system to prosecute and jail journalists on bogus charges of terrorism, insulting public officials, or crimes against the state. Human Rights Watch also documented threats and physical attacks on journalists and media organizations; government interference with editorial independence and pressure on media organizations to fire critical journalists; the government's takeover or closure of private media companies; and restrictions on access to the airwaves, fines, and closure of critical television stations"--Publisher's description.
