The Human Rights Defender


May 5, 2021

In early February 2021, Erol Önderoglu was the subject of an international civil society solidarity campaign, facing a 14-year sentence on charges of "terrorism". His crime: supporting independent media which was targetted by Turkey's crackdown on press freedoms. Marking World Press Freedom Day (May 3rd), the Reporters Without Borders representative tells us more about his pending case, the repressive tactics used to since critical outlets, as well as Turkey's cooling interest to achieve justice in the case of Jamal Khashoggi.
