Turkish authorities detained 12 journalists in July, two of whom were subsequently arrested, as pressure on the media continued with legal proceedings, restrictions on news coverage and digital censorship, according to a monthly report released by the Dicle Fırat Journalists Association (DFG). Two of the journalists detained, Fatma Sibel Gürcihan and Cem Küçük, were subsequently jailed pending trial. The report highlighted the detention of several journalists in operations ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara. Journalists Diren Yurtsever, Öznur Değer, Alican Uludağ and Gülistan Gülmiş were among those whose personal X accounts were targeted by access restrictions. The DFG said 27 journalists were behind bars in Turkey as of August 4.
