In just half a year, 25 Kurdish journalists were imprisoned in Turkey. On the day of the sixth month of the first arrests, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Turkish authorities to make the indictments public immediately and to take urgent measures to safeguard the rights of journalists and press freedom.

Working for media and production companies focused on Kurdish society, sixteen journalists were imprisoned with the accusations of “being a member of a terrorist organization – the PKK”, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, in June this year. After sixth month of their arrest, they haven’t yet had a trial and no indictment has been prepared against them.
