Advocates of Silenced Turkey’s reports are investigative deep dives into the erosion of human rights and civil liberties in Turkey. These reports examine patterns of repression against educators and students, the dismantling of civil society groups, misuse of anti-terror legislation, and the targeting of activists and ordinary citizens both at home and abroad. They also document systematic torture, judicial failings, gender-based abuses, and the plight of refugees fleeing persecution. Together, these analyses shed light on the mechanisms of authoritarianism and call for international accountability and solidarity.
