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.

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.

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.

⚠️ 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!
