Description
As Can Dundar, editor-in-chief of the national Cumhuriyet newspaper found out, Turkey is a bad place to be a journalist. In November 2015, he was arrested on charges of divulging state secrets and espionage. Condemned and arraigned by the President himself, Dundar's so-called crime was informing the public of the discovery of highly illegal covert arms shipment. Having assumed an authority it did not have, the country's intelligence service was secretly shipping weapons to a neighbouring country, destined, in all likelihood, for radical Islamist organisations - illegally making Turkey a party in the Syrian civil war. This was a crime that was in the government's interest to conceal, and a journalist's duty to expose. The title of the book is taken from Can Dundar's tweet on the day he was detained.
