European Court of Human Rights orders Turkey to pay compensation to journalists
(IPI/IFEX) - VIENNA, 28 January 2010 - The European Court of Human Rights has ordered Turkey to pay a total of over 40,000 Euros to 20 Turkish journalists as compensation for having violated their rights.
In March 2009, IPI took its concerns about press freedom in Turkey to the European Commission in Brussels.

The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) reported that, in late March and early April, the police and military killed 14 persons, including five children, when they fired into crowds of demonstrators during rioting in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir (see section 2.b.).
According to the HRF, security forces caused three deaths when they raided houses during the first eight months of the year.
According to the HRF, police and Jandarma killed 9 persons during the year when they did not obey warnings by security forces to stop their vehicles.
According to the HRF, there were 338 cases of torture or abuse reported at its five national treatment centers during the year. Of these, 227 cases involved torture or abuse inflicted during the year; the rest involved incidents that occurred previously. HRF stated that there were 10,449 credible reports of torture or abuse from 1990 to 2005. A number of human rights observers claimed that only a small percentage of detainees reported torture and abuse because they feared retaliation or believed that complaining was futile.

No less befuddling is the outcome regarding the record number of 182 journalists imprisoned in 1995. Among the top-ranking nations one finds close political allies and/or important trading partners of most OECD countries (Organization for Economic Development: U.S., Canada, Japan, several E.C.-members). For the second year in a row, our NATO ally Turkey ranks as the worst offender in this category (51 reporters in jail). Turkey's record of human rights abuses is long and ugly. Reporting on political events or social issues can still trigger a host of unpredictable consequences.
In recent years Turkey's treatment of the Kurds has drawn the close attention of international human rights organizations. Until the end of 1995, the highly centralized government continued to deny even limited autonomy to the Kurdish population in the southeast where the Turkish Army is mired in a virtual civil war against the militant Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK). Correspondingly, the security forces have cracked down ruthlessly on critical voices in the media.
