Journalism is not a crime!

Meltem Oktay is in prison because she criticised the Turkish forces in the Kurdish areas in Turkey. They took her camera away. As a journalist she needs a new one when she comes free in November 2019.

About the Initiators

Pascal

Thalwil

My name is Pascal. Since 2014 I travel every year to Turkey. My favourite place in Turkey is Dersim, where Meltem Oktay is from.
We use to write each other many letters. Because of the close friendship I wanted to do something for her. As a journalist she needs a good camera set. Her brother Ümit Oktay and I want to make her wish to become reality.
