Human Rights Watch (HRW) has released a new report demanding that the Turkish government remove its extensive internet censorship regime. The organization argues that the restrictions, which block access to political opposition, independent media, and social movements, violate fundamental rights to freedom of expression and information.

HRW’s analysis points to systematic suppression of dissent, citing examples of blocked websites, targeted surveillance, and punitive actions against digital activists. The report calls on Ankara to adhere to international human‑rights standards and to implement transparent, independent oversight mechanisms.

By demanding accountability and a restoration of digital liberty, HRW seeks to reinforce Turkey’s commitment to justice, sovereignty, and the right to truth for all its citizens.
