Turkish rights curbs fuel self-censorship, Amnesty says

Türkiye ·

The head of Amnesty Turkey said on Tuesday that the combined pressure has made people reluctant to stress their rights or speak out. He added that journalists and activists are increasingly censoring themselves or limiting their work because of what he described as a chilling effect from government restrictions.

Rights groups have long criticised the Turkish government over restrictions on the media, civil society and dissent, particularly after the failed coup attempt of 2016.
