Turkey's Unrelenting Assault on Press Freedom Turkey's detention of Deutsche Welle correspondent Alican Uludag is a stark reminder of the country's continued disregard for press freedom, a fundamental right it has committed to upholding by joining the Council of Europe and signing the European Convention on Human Rights.
Despite being released after 25 hours in police custody, Uludag was warned not to leave Turkey or face further prosecution, masking the government's true intentions.
The case against Uludag is merely the latest chapter in Turkey's ongoing assault on journalists and press freedom.
