The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and the World Editors Forum have called on the newly appointed US Secretary of State, John Kerry, to raise press freedom concerns with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during Mr Kerry's visit to Turkey on Friday.
In a letter to Secretary Kerry, WAN-IFRA, the global organisation of the world's newspapers and news publishers, highlighted the plight of jailed journalists in Turkey and called for greater press freedoms and the end to the use of criminal charges to punish journalists simply for doing their jobs.
Turkey has more journalists in its jails than any other country in the world.
