For several days now Turkey has been busy with the crackdown on the free media of Dec. 14. The acts of oppression and intimidation that have been taking place in front of the eyes of the world qualify to be recorded in the history of lawlessness. Two prominent names in our country, the editor-in-chief of the Zaman newspaper, Mr. Ekrem Dumanlı, and the chairman of the Samanyolu Broadcasting Group, Mr. Hidayet Karaca, are being held behind bars only and simply because of their journalistic activities. And they are shockingly accused of forming and leading an armed terrorist organization.
