IFJ - INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF JOURNALISTS Ankara Rejects European Mayors' Visit to Ekrem İmamoğlu The Ministry of Justice rejected the request of European mayors who came to Türkiye to visit the ousted Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, in prison in Silivri. According to Halk TV, the Ministry of Justice rejected the request of European mayors who came to Türkiye to visit the ousted Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, in prison in Silivri. The mayors were welcomed today by Deputy Mayor Nuri Aslan in the Sarajane district of Istanbul and visited the city hall. Following his opening remarks, Aslan stated that the Ministry of Justice had not permitted the European mayors to visit İmamoğlu in Silivri. Nuri Aslan announced that the mayors of Eurocities and B40 member cities will travel to Silivri at 2:00 PM to offer their support, despite not having received permission from the ministry. The "Democracy Special Award," awarded to İmamoğlu by European mayors, was presented to Dilek İmamoğlu, the wife of the arrested mayor. The award was presented to İmamoğlu by Barcelona Mayor Colboni. İmamoğlu was elected Mayor of Istanbul in 2019 and re-elected in 2024. He was arrested on March 19th due to a corruption investigation and allegations of links to terrorists. A series of charges against him could prevent him from running in the next presidential election. His arrest sparked demonstrations across the country, which escalated into the most serious street riots since the Gezi Park protests of 2013. The protests spread across Turkey and were brutally suppressed by police. | BGNES

Türkiye: Authorities must end unlawful proceedings against the Istanbul Bar Association 29 Jan 2025 | Advocacy, News istanbul-bar-e1736938363638 The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) expresses concern over the criminal proceedings initiated against the Istanbul Bar Association, including its President, İbrahim Kaboğlu, and members of its executive board. The ICJ further condemns the detention of Fırat Epözdemir, a member of the executive board, who was arrested upon his return from an advocacy visit to Council of Europe institutions. These actions constitute a direct attack on the independence of the legal profession and the rule of law in Türkiye. The criminal proceedings were initiated following a statement issued by the Istanbul Bar Association on 21 December 2024, which called for an independent investigation into the deaths of journalists Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin, who were killed in northern Syria on 19 December 2024.

I have been a freelance journalist for twenty-five years, writing articles and news, and I never use a press card. My goal is to write only the truth and facts. To let people know what they don't hear, to show them what they don't see. Now, fake diploma gangs have emerged in Turkey. They have given fake diplomas to thousands of people. Some are professors, some are judges, some are engineers. These events are making headlines on TV. I spent years struggling to study, and now diplomas are being sold for money, and those who receive them work for the government. Isn't this journalistic news? The AKP Chairman's diploma is also questionable. Aren't these newsworthy? Thirty-five years ago, Ekrem İmamoğlu's well-deserved diploma was revoked just so he wouldn't be a candidate. Will those who received it be subjected to the same...
