PEN International: 145 journalists in Turkish prisons, 114 charged following coup attempt

Must read

PEN International, a worldwide association of writers, has released the names of 145 journalists who were jailed by the Turkish government after a failed coup attempt on July 15.

According to the association, they managed to gather the list by cross-referencing the various sources available to them at present and will update it as more news emerges. The list only includes journalists and writers, not businessmen or those with financial interests in the media.

One hundred forty-nine journalists are behind bars, of whom four are currently detained without having been charged. Out of the remaining 145 journalists, 114 have been charged since the coup attempt; 31 were charged before the attempt; and 76 journalists were briefly arrested/detained after the coup attempt and have been released.
