Dear Friend of Press Freedom,
When Reporters Without Borders (RSF) awarded Can Dündar, the editor of the leading Turkish daily Cumhuriyet, its 2015 Press Freedom Prize on 17 November, he told us he feared that he might be arrested.
This nightmare has come true. Dündar and his Ankara bureau chief, Erdem Gül, were jailed on the evening of 26 November. Why? Because they had revealed that the Turkish intelligence services had delivered arms to Islamist groups in Syria. They are now facing the possibility of life imprisonment on charges of spying and terrorism.
