Turkey: Syrian Journalist Al-Arabiya Threatened With Deportation

Syrian journalist exiled in Turkey is at risk of being deported for trying to cover Turkish military operations in northern Syria. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) denounces this measure, a real obstacle to the right to inform, and asks that he be allowed to work freely.

He has only a few days to leave Turkish territory . Syrian journalist Zidane Zenglow , a correspondent for the pan –Arab channel Al-Arabiya (funded by the Saudi government), had obtained permission from the authorities to go to the Turkish-Syrian border.

“This decision is purely arbitrary and constitutes an obstacle to freedom of information ,” said Sabrina Bennoui, the Middle East bureau chief for Reporters Without Borders (RSF). Neither a blanket prohibition nor outright expulsion can be justified to prevent a journalist from doing his job, regardless of the nature of the relationship between the Turkish authorities and the government funding the media for which the journalist works. “

Contacted by RSF, Zidane Zenglow said he was in Akçakale (Turkish side), when he was called by phone by the authorities to visit a temporary center set up for journalists. He was then withdrawn, ” by decision of Ankara. “

Back in Istanbul, where he resides, the Turkish intelligence services asked him to return to the border. He was interrogated about his work for Al-Arabiya , a chain whose coverage may be considered hostile by the Turkish authorities. The officers then handcuffed and detained him, and then issued him with a deportation notice, which was obtained by RSF on the grounds that it represented a ” threat to internal security and public order. “

Turkey ranks 157th in RSF’s World Press Freedom Index .
