<u>Invitation to Vernissage</u><b><br>
<br>
</b><b>LEIPZIG/Germany Wednesday, 14 March 2018, 4pm, Foyer
Leipziger Volkszeitung<br>
</b> <br>
In Turkey, every single day journalists are intimidated, harassed
and persecuted, just for doing their job. Very often, pre-trial
detention does not lead to any charges but still lasts for months.
In the courts, the evidence is often quite bizarre. Names like Deniz
Yücel, Asli Erdoğan and Ahmet Şık represent this frontal attack on
press and media freedom in Turkey. There are over one hundred more
journalists and writers whose fate is less well-known.<br>
<br>
Under the patronage of Rebecca Harms, MEP of the German Green Party,
the P24 organisation, which supports independent journalism in
Turkey, has created an exhibition to shed light on journalists
facing persecution and to make their stories public.<br>
<br>
The exhibition "Expression Interrupted!" went public for the first
time in 2017 at the European Parliament in Brussels. On the occasion
of the <b>Leipzig Book Fair 2018</b> the <span style="color:

it to Leipzig with the support of <span style="color:
rgb(76,170,216);">Rebecca Harms MEP </span>and the local daily
newspaper <span style="color: rgb(76,170,216);">Leipziger
Volkszeitung (LVZ)</span>.<br>
<br>
And you are warmly invited to the opening of the event!<br>
