Turkey continues to face international criticism for its poor press freedom record, ranked 159th out of 180 in the Reporters Without Borders Index. In addition to imprisonment, restrictive judicial practices have emerged as crucial tools for suppressing journalistic voices. These measures, such as house arrests and travel bans, are increasingly applied to punish journalists without formal incarceration. High-profile journalists have faced these restrictions under the guise of preventing potential crimes, yet they often target critical perspectives, effectively silencing dissent in the media landscape of Turkey.
Judicial measures are increasingly employed against journalists in Turkey, functioning not just as alternatives to imprisonment but as tools of repression that stifle free speech.
The situation for journalists disseminating critical views is dire, with restrictions like house arrest and travel bans forming a systematic effort to silence dissent.
