Description

17 journalists and executives of the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet are on trial since July 24 on accusations of terror charges. Journalists and media have faced severe repression as part of the post-coup crackdown and growing authoritarianism in Turkey. For many, the Cumhuriyet trial is seen as a test for press freedom in an unsteady democracy.
