Recently, discussions have intensified around AKP media and RTÜK oversight. The challenges faced by journalists and the government's intolerance towards criticism are noteworthy.

The threats made by a supporter group president against journalists in Kayseri are alarming for press freedom. This incident illustrates how the government attempts to suppress criticism.

The summons of a retired citizen for questioning after criticizing the government is unacceptable in a democratic rule of law. Such practices are seen as efforts to silence the voice of the people.

The assault on a journalist by an AKP council member poses a serious threat to media independence. The freedom of journalists to write what they believe is more important than ever.
