Tragically, mainstream media in Turkey has either ignored these events or misrepresented them. Citizens have turned to social media platforms in search of accurate information.
However, Google and X (formerly Twitter) are now actively restricting access to this information and appear to be cooperating with the repressive Erdoğan government. Opposition accounts are being suspended without explanation, and the people's right to access and share news is being denied.
Under these circumstances, we urgently call on the international community for support. We ask for your help in amplifying our voices, defending our rights, and showing our people that they are not alone in this struggle for justice.
