Turkish journalist in Sweden faces fresh indictment and trial in Turkey over published article

This isn’t the first time the Swedish-based journalist has become the focus of an indictment

Newsroom August 23 06:04

A Swedish-based Turkish journalist is currently facing a second indictment in Turkey regarding an article which exposed secret profiling by Turkish authorities that unlawfully blacklisted well over 100,000 students from kindergarten to 12th grade because they were enrolled in schools owned and operated by a dissident group that has critical views of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In an exclusive and breaking report published by Nordic Monitor on April 1, 2021, journalist Abdullah Bozkurt revealed that Turkey’s Ministry of Education compiled a special database identifying at some 138,000 students from K through 12, a secret move that targeted the country’s one-time best-performing school network affiliated with the Gülen movement, inspired by Erdogan foe Fethullah Gülen.
