At the end of 2015, Rasool was one of nearly 200 journalists worldwide who were placed behind bars in an attempt to silence storytelling and media criticism, according to an annual report released today by our organization. You can read more here: https://cpj.org/imprisoned/2015.php Rasool is one of several individuals who have suffered from conditions for the media in Turkey, which has taken a turn for the worse by doubling the number of journalists in jail over the year to 14. The country released dozens of journalists in 2014 after being the world’s worst jailer for two consecutive years, but in 2015—amid two general elections, further entanglement in the Syrian civil war, and the end of a fragile ceasefire with fighters of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)— fresh arrests make it the fifth worst jailer globally. Know that Rasool is one of hundreds who deserve our support and our fight. While the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide has declined modestly from record levels recorded in the past three years, we won't stop until every jailed journalist like Rasool is released. With your continued support, we can help continue this fight to free Rasool and the hundreds of others in time. Thank you.
