STATEMENT: TURKEY: ANOTHER POLICE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN JOURNALISTS - CFWIJ DEMANDS AN IMMEDIATE END TO REPRESSION
/
At least five women journalists were impeded by the police forces while following September 1 World Peace Day demonstration in İstanbul. The police attempted to confiscate journalist Eylem Nazlıer’s phone, who was filming the police violence against the demonstration. At least four female journalists’ right to report was violated. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) condemns the constant police violence against journalists. We demand the Turkish authorities end these violations and repression immediately.
