Thousands of people rallied in Istanbul and Ankara on Saturday to protest against an escalating government crackdown on the media in Turkey. The demonstrations were organized in response to growing pressure on journalists, which has included media shutdowns and the jailing of reporters.
According to the journalists' union, 11 reporters have been imprisoned and several news outlets have been closed down over the past two months. Protesters at the rallies carried placards demanding the freedom of jailed journalists, such as Ismail Ari, highlighting the mounting restrictions on press freedom in the country.
