Journalists face further violence in southeast Turkey
The tension and restrictions that have affected social, economic, education and health services are now threatening journalists, and journalism itself.
CIZRE, Turkey — During the eight-day, 24-hour curfew imposed earlier this month on the city of Cizre, journalists were not allowed to enter the town.
The only news came from a few local reporters living in the town, where frequent breakdowns in telephone and Internet connections hampered their work. On the eighth day, when the curfew was lifted, journalists poured into Cizre.
