Turkey Deemed Abusive Toward Media

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Turkey has been deemed one of the most abusive states
toward the media.
A leading Western media rights group said the government of Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has detained more journalists than such human
rights violators as China and Iran. The New York-based Committee to Protect
Journalists asserted that this marked one of the worst state crackdowns on
the media in years.
