Enforced Disappearances and Torture in Turkey - July 2026
Despite relentless efforts by the Turkish government to silence them, Turkish journalists in exile continue to reach millions through independent reporting. Their voices defy censorship—blocking websites, social media accounts, and content through court orders and cyber-attacks—yet they persist.
But safety in exile remains far from guaranteed. Transnational repression targets these journalists with death threats, surveillance, physical assaults, and arbitrary detention. Many face enforced disappearances, fabricated terrorism charges, and illegal transfers—all aimed at silencing their voices.
Threats extend beyond violence. Many exiled journalists are added to Turkey’s ‘Most Wanted’ terrorist list, with their financial resources frozen or threatened. Their passports are unlawfully reported stolen, and some are subject to Interpol notices, restricting their ability to travel or communicate freely.
Digital platforms have become tools for intimidation. In July 2021, a social media account published a list of journalists to be assassinated across Europe and North America. The German government even issued a statement condemning these ‘execution lists.’
Exiled journalists expose government corruption, unlawful activities, and radical connections. Their courage is vital for truth and democracy. We must stand against repression and support their fight for freedom and justice.
