In this brief,ARTICLE 19 calls for dropping criminal charges against journalist Furkan Karabay. Karabay stands trial for his news article and social media activity criticising a judge. Article19 finds the provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Law under which Karabay is charged and his prosecution to be incompatible with international and European standards on the freedom of expression. Charges against Karabay must be dropped, and Türkiye must urgently amend the Anti-Terrorism Law.
