The OHAL Diaries

At ThePressProject International, we are initiating «The OHAL Diaries» to follow events in Turkey closely over the next weeks. As part of this project, we will be reporting daily on the progress of the country’s state of emergency, relating further anti-coup efforts as they happen. We will look closely at potential executive orders issued as part of OHAL and the implications of such orders for human rights, social life, and power relations in Turkey. We believe that the intensity of the measures that have already been taken by the government since the failed coup, while potentially justifiable in the face of the grave danger that Turkish democracy has faced, requires a close and scrutinous look at Turkey over the next weeks.
