| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WAPC EXPRESSES ALARM AT JOURNALIST ARRESTS IN TURKEY | |
| The World Association of Press Councils (WAPC ) joins with press freedom organizations, such as the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), The International Press Institute (IPI), and Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF), in raising our voice in alarm over arrests of journalists in Turkey!
In recent days, the Turkish government has continued what appears to be a campaign against Turkish journalists and aimed at silencing critical voices. There have been wholesale arrests and seizure of documents and computers. Government statements indicate that the arrests stem from an alleged plot to overthrow the government, but evidence and specific charges are kept secret!
