Dunja Mijatovi\u0107, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, today asked Turkish authorities to bring the country’s media legislation in line with OSCE commitments on media freedom following the release by her Office of a study that shows 57 journalists are imprisoned in Turkey.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt present, 57 journalists are in prison in Turkey and the number of ongoing trials that can result in imprisonment of journalists is estimated to be from 700 to 1000,\u201d said Mijatovi\u0107, who commissioned the study after receiving a number of reports about imprisoned journalists.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuto\u011flu, she wrote that the survey intended to show the need for media legislation reform in Turkey. She also offered her Office’s support in developing such reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sheer number of cases poses fundamental questions about the legal provisions governing journalism in Turkey, and it raises concerns that the number of journalists in prison can further increase,\u201d Mijatovi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OSCE participating States, including Turkey, have reaffirmed on several occasions the importance of free expression and the need to protect it. The OSCE commitments stress that everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right includes freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority. Turkey reaffirmed the need to protect these values as recently as at the 2010 OSCE Astana Summit.\u201d  <\/p>\n

She said that though governments have a legitimate need to fight the threat terrorism poses to national security, such security challenges should not be used by governments to curb media freedom.  Criminalization of speech should be restricted to clear instances of intentional incitement to terrorism or other forms of violence. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very important that authorities protect objective reporting even on sensitive topics such as terrorism or national security. The public\u2019s right to know includes such issues,\u201d Mijatovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n

She also noted that certain details in the study could not be determined precisely as the justifications for the imprisonment of journalists were not always in the public domain. <\/p>\n
