4 | Turkey's November 1 election is fast approaching and journalists in the country are facing new levels of threat amid an atmosphere of fear and violence. | Efa akaiky ny fifidianana ao Torkia amin'ny 1 Novambra hoavy izao ka miatrika dingam-pandrahonana vaovao ao anatin'ny rivotra anjakan'ny tahotra sy ny herisetra indray ny mpanao gazety ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | In the space of a week in October, journalists Ahmet Hakan and Serhat Yüce both suffered beatings that have sparked an outcry over the lack of security for journalists in the country. | Tao anatin'ny herinandro tamin'ity volana Oktobra ity, niharan'ny daroka i Ahmet Hakan sy Serhat Yüce, samy mpanao gazety ka niteraka tabataba noho ny tsy fisian'ny fiarovana ny mpanao gazety ao amin'ny firenena izany. |
6 | The October 1 assault on Hakan by a gang affiliated to Turkey's ruling party was the most resonant for users of social media in the country. | Ny fanafihana an'i Hakan nataona andian-jiolahimboto mpikambana ao amin'ny antokon'ny fitondrana Torkia no tena malaza indrindra teo amin'ireo mpiserasera ao amin'ny media sosialy. |
7 | Police aggression towards Yüce that took place on October 5 also has been widely condemned. | Marobe ihany koa no nanameloka tanteraka ny herisetran'ny polisy tamin'i Yüce izay nitranga tamin'ny 5 Oktobra. |
8 | Pressure on journalists is intensifying ahead of a ballot the ruling AKP (Justice and Development) party hopes will grant it the majority it craves. | Mihamafy ny tsindry mahazo ny mpanao gazety alohan'ny fandatsaham-bato izay antenain'ny antokon'ny fitondrana AKP (Rariny sy Fampandrosoana) fa hanome azy ny maro an'isa katsahiny mafy. |
9 | The party lost some of its political dominance following elections in June that led to a split parliament and fresh snap elections, and has doubled down on opposition as one of its main achievements in the last decade - the Kurdish peace process - threatens to fall apart as a result. | Somary nihena ny hery ara-politikan'ity antoko ity taorian'ny fifidianana tamin'ny volana Jona izay nitarika ny fivakisan'ny parlemanta sy fifidianana alohan'ny fotoana, ary nanome toerana ny mpanohitra izay toy ny iray amin'ireo zava-bitany tsara indrindra tao anatin'ny folo taona - atahorana hirodana ny dinam-pandriampahalemana iarahana amin'ny Kiorda. |
10 | In the face of Kurdish militancy and increased government violence towards the citizenry, journalists who use a critical lens to investigate and report on the activities of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his AKP party are left particularly vulnerable to harm. | Manoloana ny tolona mitam-piadiana Kiorda sy ny fitomboan'ny herisetran'ny governemanta amin'ny mpiray tanindrazana, atahorana iharan'ny herisetra mora foana ireo mpanao gazety mampiasa tsikera goavana ao amin'ny fanadihadiana sy fitateram-baovao momba ny zavatra ataon'ny Filoha Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sy ny antokony AKP . |
11 | Most noticeably, information campaigns and physical intimidation that once targeted Kurdish and leftist media are now being aimed at mainstream media as well. | Mivandravandra fa kendren'ny fampieleza-kevi-baovao sy ny fandrahonana ara-batana ihany koa izao ny haino aman-jery mahazatra izay efa nikendrena ny Kiorda sy ny haino aman-jery ankavia. |
12 | Doğan Media, which encompasses influential outlets such as Hürriyet and Hurriyet Daily News, Posta, the TV channels Kanal D, CNN Türk, and tv2, is one of the biggest media groups in Turkey. | Doğan Media, izay ahitana ireo sampam-baovao manintona tahaka ny Vaovao Isan'andron'i Hürriyet sy Hurriyet, Posta, fantsona TV Kanal D, CNN Türk, sy tv2 no iray amin'ireo vondrona haino aman-jery lehibe indrindra ao Torkia. |
13 | Owned by famous media mogul Aydın Doğan, the group has always operated as a standard mainstream media organisation, dodging sensitive topics while tending towards objectivity. | Mogul Aydın Doğan no tompony, miasa hatrany ho vondrona goavan'ny fampitam-baovao mahazatra ny vondrona, misoroka ireo lohahevitra saro-pady ary miezaka ny tsy mitanila. |
14 | But Doğan came under pressure before the June 7 election, wherein AKP's ambitions to dominate the next parliament were undercut by the arrival into the legislature of pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP). | Saingy niharan'ny teritery i Doğan talohan'ny fifidianana tamin'ny 7 Jiona, raha noravain'ny fahatongavan'ny Antoko Demaokratim-bahoaka mpanohana ny Kiorda (HDP) ny fikasan'ny AKP hanjakazaka amin'ny fifidianana parlemanta manaraka. |
15 | In the run-up to the vote, the group provided air time to members of the HDP and its leader Selahattin Demirtaş. | Tamin'ny fifaninana amin'ny fifidianana, nanome fandaharana hoan'ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny HDP sy ny filohany Selahattin Demirtaş ilay vondrona [fampitam-baovao]. |
16 | This was unpopular among nationalists who attacked the media group and claimed that they were “promoting” Kurdish separatism and “supporting terrorism”. | Tsy tian'ireo nasionalista izay nanafika ny vondrona haino aman-jery izany ary nilaza fa “mampiroborobo” ny fisintahan'ny Kiorda sy “manohana fampihorohoroana”. |
17 | After elections, Doğan began to take precautions. | Taorian'ny fifidianana, nanomboka nandray fepetra i Doğan. |
18 | As one journalist put it, self-censorship took hold across the network. | Araka ny nolazain'ny mpanao gazety iray, nanjaka manerana ny tambajotra ny fanivanan-tena. |
19 | Guests from HDP no longer featured in the broadcasts of Doğan group programs. | Tsy nipoitra tamin'ny fandaharan'ny vondrona Doğan intsony ireo vahiny avy amin'ny HDP. |
20 | But even these precautions proved insignificant. | Na dia hita fa tsy misy dikany aza izany fepetra izany. |
21 | On the nights of September 6 and September 8, the headquarters of leading Doğan group new site Hurriyet Daily in Istanbul were attacked with stones and sticks by a mob organised by the AKP parliamentary deputy and leader of the AKP Youth, Abdurrahim Boynukalın, who publicly delivered a threatening speech in front of the Hurriyet's offices. | Notafihan'ny vahoaka tamin'ny vato sy langilangy ny foiben-toeran'ny vondrona Doğan, ny gazety lohalaharana mivoaka isan'andro Hurriyet ao Istanbul, tamin'ny alin'ny 6 Septambra sy 8 Septambra, vahoaka izay nokaramain'ny solombavambahoakan'ny AKP sady filohan'ny Tanora AKP, Abdurrahim Boynukalın, izay nanao lahateny fandrahonana ampahibemaso teo anoloan'ny ny biraon'ny Hurriyet. |
22 | Boynukalın was not punished for his role in organising the unruly demonstration. | Tsy voasazy tamin'ny fandraisany anjara tamin'ny fikarakarana ity fihetsiketsehana tsy ara-dalàna ity i Boynukalın. |
23 | Attacks on Doğan Media and their journalists continued when well-known anchor Ahmet Hakan Coşkun was beaten by four people in front of his house, who reportedly broke his nose and ribs. | Nitohy ny fanafihana ny Doğan Media sy ny mpanao gazetiny raha nodarohan'ny olona miisa efatra teo anoloan'ny tranony ilay mpanolotra fandaharana malaza Ahmet Hakan Coşkun, izay voalaza fa tapaka ny orony sy ny taolan-tehezany. |
24 | Following an investigation, it emerged that three of the four assailants were AKP members. | Taorian'ny famotorana, fantatra fa mpikambana ao amin'ny AKP ny telo tamin'ireo mpanafika. |
25 | AKP subsequently announced it had expelled them from the party. | Nilaza avy eo ny AKP fa noroahina tao amin'ny antoko izy ireo. |
26 | Initially supportive of AKP and Erdoğan, Hakan became more critical of them over time, as AKP grew increasingly conservative and authoritarian. | Mpanohana ny AKP sy Erdoğan tany am-boalohany i Hakan no nanjary nitsikera azy ireo taty aoriana, satria niha-kaonservativa sy tsy refesi-mandidy ny AKP. |
27 | This switch was noted by scribes in the pro-AKP press such as columnist Cem Küçük, who spuriously accused Hakan of supporting the Kurdistan Workers' Party that favours independence from Turkey for Kurds. | Nanamarika izany fiovana izany ireo mpanoratra ao amin'ny gazety mpomba ny AKP tahaka ilay mpamakafaka Cem Küçük, izay niampanga am-pahadisoana an'i Hakan ho manohana ny Antokon'ny Mpiasa Kiordistana izay manome lanja ny fahaleovantena Kiorda manoloana an'i Torkia. |
28 | He wrote in the Star newspaper: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny gazety Star izy: |
29 | Like schizophrenic patients, you [Hakan] think you are still living in the days when Hürriyet ran the country. | Tahaka ireo mararin'ny fikorontanana ara-tsaina, mihevitra ianao [Hakan] fa mbola miaina amin'ny andro nitondran'i Hürriyet ny firenena. |
30 | We could crush you like a fly if we wanted. | Afaka mamotipotika anao toy ny lalitra izahay raha tianay izany. |
31 | We have been merciful until today and you are still alive. | Feno famindram-po izahay hatramin'izao ary mbola velona ianao. |
32 | Those words were printed less than a month before he was assaulted. | Natonta iray volana latsaka talohan'ny nanafihana azy ireo teny ireo. |
33 | Although most journalists and media organisations condemned the attack, pro-AKP media tried to blame others. | Na dia nanameloka ny fanafihana aza ny ankamaroan'ny fikambanana mpanao gazety sy ny haino aman-jery, niezaka nanome tsiny ny hafa ny haino aman-jery mpanohana ny AKP. |
34 | Groups on social media known as AKTrolls (pro-AKP anonymous users, mostly active on Twitter) even celebrated the event: | Nankalaza ny zava-nitranga mihitsy aza ireo vondrona ao amin'ny media sosialy fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe AKTrolls (mpiserasera tsy fantatra anarana mpomba ny AKP, mavitrika ao amin'ny Twitter ny ankamaroany): |

36 | - ilhan tanir (@WashingtonPoint) September 30, 2015 | Mitohy ny fanafihana ny haino aman-jery Kiorda |
37 | The silencing of Kurdish outlets with the help of Turkey's security forces is another feature of Turkey's increasingly bleak media environment. | Anisan'ny endri-javatra hafa amin'ny fahanginana tsy mitsaha-mitombo eo amin'ny tontolon'ny haino aman-jery ao Torkia ny fanampenam-bava ny sampam-baovao Kiorda noho ny fanampian'ny mpitandro ny filaminana ao Torkia. |
38 | Just two days before Ahmet Hakan was attacked, a building that houses both the Kurdish news agency DİHA and the Kurdish-language newspaper Azadiya Welat was raided by police. | Roa andro monja talohan'ny nanafihana an'i Ahmet Hakan, nosavain'ny polisy ny tranobe misy ny masoivohom-baovaon'ny Kiorda DIHA sy ny gazety amin'ny teny Kiorda, Azadiya Welat. |
39 | The raid occurred without a warrant on the afternoon of September 28. | Nitranga tsy misy didy ny fisavana tamin'ny tolakandron'ny 28 Septambra. |
40 | Police took around 30 journalists, editors and reporters into custody where they say they were harassed and intimidated. | Nisambotra mpanao gazety teo amin'ny 30 eo ny polisy, anisan'izany ireo tonian-dahatsoratra sy mpanao gazety notànana izay nilaza fa niharan'ny herisetra sy fandrahonana. |
41 | Police also broke windows and doors inside the building. | Novakian'ny polisy ihany koa varavarankely sy ny varavarana tao amin'ny tranobe. Hakikate giden kapı! |
42 | A door to the truth! | DİHA'yı basan polisler kapıyı bu hale getirdi. |
43 | Police who raided DİHA did this. | Gözümüz üzerinizde, peşinizdeyiz #DİHAyaDokunma pic.twitter.com/KFgCIbJcfF |
44 | We're watching you and we're coming after you. | - Nedim Türfent (@nturfent) September 28, 2015 Varavarana mankany amin'ny fahamarinana! nanao izany ny polisy nanafika ny DİHA. |
45 | #DontTouchDİHA -Nedim Türfent, English Editor of DİHA. | Mijery anareo izahay ary manara-maso anareo ao aoriana. |
46 | One possible reason for the raid is DİHA's hard work in Kurdish cities where conflicts between the Kurdish independence groups and the police have been prominent. | # DontTouchDİHA -Nedim Türfent, Tonian-dahatsoratra amin'ny teny Anglisy ao amin'ny DİHA. Mety antony iray nahatonga ny fanafihana ny asa mafy ataon'ny DİHA ao amin'ireo tanàna Kiorda izay nisongadina ny ady eo amin'ny vondrona mahaleotena Kiorda sy ny polisy. |
47 | AKP has demonstrated its will to to censor news coming out of cities like Cizre, Beytülşebbap, Hakkari and Şırnak, where the agency has been particularly active. | Naneho ny fikasany hanivana vaovao avy amin'ireo tanàna ireo ny AKP, tahaka an'i Cizre, Beytülşebbap, Hakkari sy Şırnak, ary mavitrika tanteraka ny sampam-baovao. |
48 | DİHA is the most respected news source for many Kurdish people living all around the world and many others who lack trust in mainstream media. | DİHA no loharanom-baovao be mpitia indrindra eo amin'ny Kiorda monina manerana izao tontolo izao ary maro hafa ihany koa no tsy matoky ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra. |
49 | Its website was first censored in July as part of a wave of blocks covered by Global Voices. | Efa voasivana indray mandeha ny tranokalany tamin'ny volana Jolay tao anatin'ny fanakatonana faobe efa notaterin'ny Global Voices teto. |
50 | Since that time, their backup domains and mirrors have been blocked more than 20 times. | Nanomboka tamin'izay fotoana izay, efa nakatona in-20 mahery ny sehatra tahiry sy ny fitaratr'izy ireo. |
51 | The most recent event to shock journalists in the country demonstrates how far the government has veered off the track of acceptable behaviour in its war on the media. | Ireo zavatra maro manafintohina indrindra ny mpanao gazety no porofo fanehoana ny zavatra ratsy indrindra vitan'ny governemanta amin'ny ady ifanandrinany tamin'ny haino aman-jery. |
52 | Özgür Gün TV reporter Murat Demir and DİHA reporter Serhat Yüce were both threatened, beaten, and then taken into custody by undercover police in public in the provincial town of Silvan in Kurdish-populated eastern Turkey. | Mpanao gazetin'ny fahitalavitra Özgür Gun, Murat Demir sy ny mpanao gazetin'ny DİHA, Serhat Yüce no norahonana, nodarohana ary avy eo nampidirin'ny polisy tsy manao fanamiana imasom-bahoaka tany am-ponja, tao an-tanàna provinsialy Silvan ao atsinanan'i Torkia be mponina Kiorda no nitrangan'izany. |
53 | When they were preparing to photograph the town under curfew, a police man stopped his car nearby, loaded his gun and aimed it at Serhat Yüce's head while verbally threatening him. | Raha niomana haka sary ny tanàna teo ambanin'ny tsy fahazoana mivezivezy amin'ny alina izy ireo, nosakan'ny polisy teo akaiky teo ny fiarany, nanisy bala ny basiny ny polisy ary nanambana izany teo amin'ny lohan'i Serhat Yüce no sady nandrahona am-bava azy. |
54 | Journalism has never been an easy profession in Turkey. | Tsy mba asa mora mihitsy ny asa fanaovan-gazety ao Torkia hatramin'izay. |
55 | Threats, beatings, torture or even killing journalists have been running themes in Turkish media history. | Fandrahonana, daroka, fampijaliana na koa famonoana mpanao gazety mihitsy no lohahevitra malaza eo amin'ny tantaran'ny haino aman-jery Tiorka. |
56 | The attacks on outlets and media workers is reminiscent of very dark times and has justifiably breathed fear into the independent and critical press. | Mampahatsiahy ireo vanim-potoana maizina tanteraka teo amin'ny tantaran'i Torkia ny fanafihana haino aman-jery sy mpanao gazety ary niteraka tahotra teo amin'ireo gazety tsy miankina sy mpitsikera. |
57 | Events including the arrest of VICE journalists and the deportation of Frederike Geerdink also demonstrate attacks on the free press are not limited to Turkish citizens. | Mampiseho ihany koa ny fisamborana ireo mpanao gazetin'ny VICE sy ny fandroahana an'i Frederike Geerdink fa tsy ny olom-pirenena Tiorka ihany no iharan'ny fanafihana fa ny fahalalahan-gazety ihany koa. |
58 | Predicting the future anywhere is difficult, let alone in Turkey, where the last few years have seen a host of economic and security challenges drag the country back in the direction of its violent and unfulfilling past. | Sarotra ny maminavina ny ho avy any ho any, indrindra fa ao Torkia, izay nahitana fanamby marobe ara-toekarena sy ara-piarovana nampihemotra ny firenena sy nampiditra azy amin'ny herisetra izay taona vitsy lasa izay. |
59 | But it seems certain that until November 1, there will be no let up, and journalists will have choose between self-censorship and growing risk. | Saingy toa azo antoka fa hatramin'ny 1 Novambra, tsy hisy ny fandeferana, manana safidy amin'ny fanivanan-tena ny mpanao gazety na idiran-doza. |
