What's up with that twitter account not actually linking to the story? Ex NBA star Enes Kanter has $500K Turkish bounty on his head (nypost.com) The athlete’s name appears on the Turkish Terrorist Wanted List along with actual terrorists and fellow dissidents critical of the Erdoğan regime, which has routinely defied international human rights law. The list also names more than a dozen journalists — part of a larger assault on the free press in Turkey, where the number of jailed journalists has doubled in the past year. Although Freedom, who now lives in Washington, DC, admitted the bounty ups his personal security concerns, he said is in constant contact with local law enforcement and the FBI. “I’m being protected 24/7,” he said, adding that he is more worried for the safety of the lesser-known Turkish dissidents on Erdoğan’s list. “I’m speaking out because I am not the only one on that list,” Freedom said of the bounty. “There are so many journalists, so many activists, and so many athletes, but they aren’t as well-known as me. They are way easier targets — and they’re alone out there.”
What happened to that guy the CIA propped up for the failed coup in Turkey? That was a big thing that shriveled up into this sound byte...
Turkey is a dictatorship......that is ridiculous that some of these middle Eastern countries kill journalists and people who don't agree with their rule..... DD
