Journalism is no crime!

Meltem Oktay is a Kurdish journalist from Dersim, Turkey. She went to the places, where Turkish security forces fought against Kurdish habitants. Because of her critical news articles she was sent to prison. In November 2019 she will be released. Then we want to make sure that she can continue to work as a journalist. The problem is that the security forces took her her camera away. That’s why we want to buy her a new professional camera that she will use for her journalistic work.
