Turkey’s Crackdown Curiously Spares the Literary World
Some Turkish authors who are not in prison may well be wondering why not.
This country’s literary world has a proud tradition of enduring imprisonment and repression, but mainstream authors have enjoyed an odd, if partial, immunity to the crackdown by the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a failed coup attempt this summer.
It is not that no authors are jailed: A prominent novelist and human-rights advocate, Asli Erdogan, is facing life in prison. And the thousands of books put out by 29 publishers aligned with the exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Mr. Erdogan blamed for orchestrating the failed coup, have been withdrawn from bookstores, universities and schools and reduced to pulp.
Ein dringender Hilferuf aus der Haft
Mitte August ist Asli Erdogan festgenommen worden. In einem Brief aus dem Gefängnis warnt die türkische Autorin, Europa unterschätze die Gefahren des totalen Verlusts der Demokratie in der Türkei.
