According to BİA Media Monitoring, 2025 was a year in which journalists were targeted with charges such as “threat” and “espionage,” and the cycle of detention and arrest, access bans, and heavy fines became normalized.

In 2008, 82 people were tried under Article 301, 44 under the Anti-Terrorist Law. Freedoms of press and expression have been damaged by political polarisation, the lack of a solution to the Kurdish issue and the intolerance of criticism.
