Journalists' rights organizations in Turkey are warning that independent Turkish media face fines and arrests after reporting critical of the authorities' response to the February earthquakes. Many experts and journalists say that the situation will worsen while the next presidential elections will take place in the country in May.
In Turkey, local media outlets such as Jin News were at the forefront of reporting on February's deadly earthquakes. But reports by journalists criticizing the slow response of the government and emergency services caught the attention of the authorities.
“Policia na mori kartat e gazetarit, që na identifikojnë. Dhe më pas na çuan në rajonin e policisë. Na mbajtën atje për 3 deri në 4 orë dhe na pyetën: ‘Pse keni ardhur në zonën e tërmetit?’”, tregon gazetarja Sema Caglar.
Sipas organizatave që mbrojnë të drejtat e mediave disa gazetarë u arrestuan në zonat e tërmetit dhe pajisjet e tyre të punës u konfiskuan ose u shkatërruan. Qeveria këmbëngul se nuk ka asnjë politikë kundër medias, duke pretenduar se çdo abuzim është kryer nga oficerët, që punojnë në një situatë të vështirë.
Por stacionet televizive të pavarura si Halk TV, të cilat kanë qenë kritike për mënyrën e reagimit të qeverisë pas tërmetit, u vunë gjithashtu në shënjestër me gjoba të rënda dhe ndalime të përkohshme të transmetimit për “nxitje të urrejtjes publike”.
“Në Turqi, më shumë se 90% e medias është nën kontrollin e qeverisë. Pra, e dinim që gjobat do të vinin sepse po përcillnim zërin e popullit dhe zërin e të mbijetuarve nga tërmeti”, thotë Bengü ?ap Babaeker, drejtore e “Halk News”.
Grupet ndërkombëtare për të drejtat e gazetarëve kanë dënuar gjobat, duke thënë se stacionet televizive janë të angazhuara në raportime kritike dhe se ndëshkimet kanë të bëjnë me zgjedhjet e ardhshme që do të mbahen në Turqi.
“Duhet të theksojmë se këto gjoba kanë në shënjestër stacionet kryesore televizive që janë kritike me qeverinë para zgjedhjeve të ardhshme që do të mbahen më 14 maj”, thotë Erol Öndero?lu, nga organizata “Reporterët pa Kufij”.
To bring charges, prosecutors are now relying on a new legislation, according to which misinformation on social media is considered a criminal offense and punishable by prison. With the presidential election, some journalists say things could get worse.
"I don't think that the government's tyranny towards the press will decrease, it will even become more difficult with the election process ahead", says Sema Caglar, journalist at "Jin News".
As the death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey exceeds 50,000 and millions of people are still homeless, analysts suggest the government may try to control or suppress any critical reporting on the government's response./VOA
