A Turkish press freedom campaigner, who was once jailed for expressing solidarity with a pro-Kurdish newspaper, has said only 20 per cent of the country’s free critical press remains following a brutal media crackdown.

Erol Onderoglu, who has worked with Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontieres) for 20 years, spoke to Press Gazette ahead of Turkey’s snap presidential and parliamentary elections this coming Sunday.

Turkey is currently locked in a state of emergency following a failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in July 2016.
