STATEMENT: TURKEY: JOURNALIST DURKET SÜREN'S TRIAL ADJOURNED FOR THE SEVENTH TIME - CFWIJ REITERATES, JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME

September 20, 2021, Diyarbakır – The seventh hearing of the trial against journalist Durket Süren was held in Diyarbakır. Today, the court ruled again to wait for the digital examination report on Durket’s confiscated materials. The trial adjourned until December 13, 2021. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) considers those postponed trials for various reasons to be aiming to intimidate journalists. We reiterate once again, journalism is not a crime. Journalist Durket Süren should be acquitted immediately.
