Voices of Women Journalists in Turkey: Seyhan Avsar

Beginning on World Press Freedom Day, PEN Norway amplify the voices of women journalists from Turkey, by asking them the importance of freedom of expression in their personal and working lives.

Don’t fear – speak freely! Korkma – Konuş!

We condemn the persistent narrowing of the field of expression in Turkey and uphold citizens’ constitutional rights to engage in open, critical expression, without fear.

PEN Norveç, Dünya Basın Özgürlüğü Günü’nden başlayarak Türkiye’deki kadın gazetecilere ifade özgürlüğünün özel ve kamusal hayatlarındaki önemini sorarak onların seslerini yükseltiyor.

Türkiye’de ifade alanının sürekli olarak daraltılmasını kınıyor ve vatandaşların açıkça ve korkmadan eleştirel ifadede bulunmalarına ilişkin anayasal haklarını destekliyoruz.

Korkma – Konuş! Don’t fear – speak freely!
