Turkish journalist and writer face 4 years in jail for a metaphor
Journalists have been suffering the consequences of reporting on the misdeeds of the Turkish Government. Turkey, with the highest number of journalists in prison, and very high numbers of fatal and non-fatal attacks against independent journalists, has witnessed a steep decline in the level of freedom of the media - from 54 to 65 in Freedom House's Press Freedom Index, which since 2013 rates Turkey as "non free".
