#Lebanon🇱🇧:The Israel‐Lebanon Framework Agreement contains controversial provisions that shield Israel from accountability for war crimes against journalists and citizens. Together with @ujlebcom we denounce the agreement that ignores the rights of victims.https://t.co/8pNeN5sg1N

#Portugal🇵🇹: On 30 June, @SindicatoJorn filed a complaint with the @EU_Commission concerning the new statutes of LUSA arguing that they violate European law. We join @efjeurope in calling on the EU to ensure compliance with the European Media Freedom Act.

Gazeteci Müberra Ünsal, basın kartı olmasına rağmen gözaltına alındı!

Bu yıl da İstanbul Onur Yürüyüşü'nü takip eden gazetecilere hukuka aykırı müdahale edildi. Defalarca "basınım" demesine rağmen Ünsal da gözaltına alındı.

LGBTİ+'ların barışçıl biçimde hak ve özgürlüklerini kullanmaları da bu sürecin gazeteciler tarafından takip edilmesi de demokratik toplum ilkelerinin gereğidir.

Gazetecilerin haber takibi suç değildir.

Meslektaşlarımız derhal serbest bırakılsın!

#GazetecilikSuçDeğildir

İstanbul 24. Onur Yürüyüşü’nü takip eden meslektaşlarımız ablukaya alınarak engellenmiş, darp edilip, kötü muameleye maruz kalarak gözaltına alınmıştır.

Gazetecilik suç değildir! Meslektaşlarımıza yönelik bu hukuksuz şiddeti ve baskıyı asla kabul etmiyoruz. Gözaltına alınan tüm gazeteciler derhal serbest bırakılmalıdır.

#Belgium 🇧🇪: Another blatant attempt to prevent journalists from doing their job.

Two journalists who were reporting on the U.S. "Freedom 250" celebration in Brussels, were expelled after allegedly being deemed an "active threat."

Many people don't join unions simply because they have never been asked. That's why those of us who are already union members have a key role to play by talking to our colleagues in our workplaces and encouraging them to #JoinTheUnion.

DON’T POINT the GUNS AT JOURNALISTS

I am in Uganda and am being denied access to a @UNESCO Natural Heritage Site I understand I am also a wanted person now. I need help, UNESCO is not responding. I am accredited with @NUJofficial and @IFJGlobal

Dès le 6 juillet, le bureau de l'AFP en Turquie sera en grève !

Échec des négociations : aucun accord n'a pu être conclu avec l'AFP.

Nous n'acceptons pas une revalorisation salariale en dessous de l'inflation officielle.

Nous mettons l'employeur en garde : il est temps d'écouter nos revendications légitimes.

#Palestine🇵🇸: Journalist Bani Mufleh shared a photo showing the physical effects of his detention by Israel, which included medical negligence, torture and starvation. It's outrageous! We demand an international investigation and accountability.

⚠️ Evrensel Gazetesi Muhabiri Doğa Baskan tutuklandı!

Yayından kaldırılan bir haber gerekçe gösterilerek verilen tutuklama kararı, ifade ve basın özgürlüğü ile kişi özgürlüğü ve güvenliği hakkının ihlali demektir.

Tutuklamanın istisnai bir tedbir olduğunu, cezalandırma aracı olarak kullanılamayacağını bir kez daha hatırlatmak istiyoruz.

Gazeteci Doğa Baskan derhal serbest bırakılmalıdır!
