Thousands of people in Turkey have taken to the streets to protest the government's increasing restrictions on the media. The protests were held in various cities across the country, with demonstrators chanting slogans such as 'You cannot silence us!' and 'Let us do our jobs.' The European Federation of Journalists and other organizations have condemned the crackdown on media, with the federation stating that journalists are turning to street protests as a 'national defence of the right to know.' The protests are a response to the government's recent actions, which have included the arrest of journalists and the shutdown of media outlets.

However, the full extent of the government's plans to restrict the media is not yet clear.
