ASNE on the move

Turkey responds to protest

Turkey’s Parliament passed an amnesty bill to release from prison a number of jailed editors, stemming from a visit by an ASNE-endorsed, Committee to Protect Journalists-led group that aimed to halt the criminalization of independent monitoring in Turkey. CPJ documented 78 cases of journalists in jail in Turkey at the beginning of the year, far more than in any other country.
