Over 1,100 Arrested in Turkey’s Major Crackdown on Journalists

In a significant crackdown, Turkish authorities have detained more than 1,100 individuals, including several journalists. This action comes amidst widespread unrest as tens of thousands of citizens flood the streets in the largest anti-government protests seen in years. The protests have sparked a nationwide debate about freedom of press and expression.

As the situation escalates, authorities have urged social media platforms like X to block certain accounts. This move raises concerns about censorship and the government’s control over information. Activists argue that these actions threaten democratic values and the rights of citizens.
