Ali Kişmir, president of the Cyprus Turkish Journalists Union (Basin-Sen) will face on 28 December a trial for an opinion article he published on social media back in 2020 in which he criticised the politics of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Accused of "insulting and mocking" the security forces, he faces up to ten years in prison. The International and the European Federations of Journalists (IFJ-EFJ) stand with Kişmir and urge the authorities of Northern Cyprus to withdraw charges against him.
