Turkey’s President Traces a New Internal Threat: The Way He’s Drawn in Cartoons
“Critics of Mr. Erdogan and his government have found themselves embroiled in criminal lawsuits while dozens have lost their jobs – victims, critics say, of government efforts to intimidate dissidents. Cartoonists continue to publish their work in a range of independent publications and have branched out into social media. But they are worried about what they see as an increasingly oppressive political climate.”
ISTANBUL — … the episode points to an increasingly difficult environment for editorial cartoonists, who have long been a staple of Turkey’s political culture, as Mr. Erdogan has shown less tolerance for criticism and dissent.
Critics of Mr. Erdogan and his government have found themselves embroiled in criminal lawsuits while dozens have lost their jobs — victims, critics say, of government efforts to intimidate dissidents.
Cartoonists continue to publish their work in a range of independent publications and have branched out into social media. But they are worried about what they see as an increasingly oppressive political climate.
“As long as I’ve been aware, there has always been some form of pressure on writers and illustrators,” said Aslan Ozdemir, the editor of Leman, a pioneer of Turkish political cartoon magazines. “Today, we feel the same pressure, but it has changed its face. It might not be the threat of imprisonment as we saw during the 1980 military coup, but it’s an air of oppression by the civilian government.”

In the latest about Barrett Brown, they are why, these girls. Thank you. Ones Cassandra rules, n shokufesib, that Masters in Biochem,
I have a bachelor’s in chem. It would be a headache to produce MARIJUANA. Why don’t you let me do it? We are going to have consequnces after this mass consumption.

Why don’t you write me? The answer? We are a made-up, impotent group of activists. Who knows who is not going to get busted next?
To throw you a curve, I was always alpha to the free speech. My blog directly was forbidden by a law overturned in 2000.
And everybody find their own outlet, where they are lost using chemicals. As a friend in Fraggle, Rock. Someone write me, like Cmmdr X. We can stir this pot boom and make money.
We are impotent because we are not talking to each other, as if–who knows–Barrett Brown has custody of the nexus. hint.
And who are we? I am hating the rich, and lopving Farrah more. I haven’t worked since she died. *sigh* troops

Jackie Kennedy was much more than a wife of a President.
Hi there! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept talking about this. I most certainly
will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a great read.
Thank you for sharing!
Whatever the reason why in which to stay a depressed marriage or forgive your partners infidelity maybe if
you forgive your companion completely and take care of your anger, hurt
and frustration it is hard to generate a success of one’s marriage.
When the device rings can they jump nearly beat one to it.
On the defensive: If your man or lady has suddenly become overly
defensive and cannot take just about any criticism, you’ll need for taking an excellent take a look
at what is going on on.
Howdy! Thiѕ blog post coսldn’t be աritten any bettᥱr!
Looking throuɡh thiѕ article remind me օf mү preѵious roommate!

http://www.irontroll.com/2016/08/jojo-camp-arrested-again-assault.html
JoJo Camp was arrested yesterday in Lakewood, Colorado. He is currently being held on numerous charges including displaying a deadly weapon, stalking, harassment, violating a restraining order, assault, and bribery.
JoJo, who hasn’t been out of jail much in recent years, made national headlines when he hacked a university computer network, fled the state, and then was apprehended while trying to sell the identities of thousands of students and faculty to an undercover FBI officer.
JoJo spent time in prison for the hacking and was released early only to be sent back to finish out his sentence after stalking and harassing a Florida lawyer and her child.
After being released a second time, JoJo continued his harassment of the lawyer and had a permanent restraining order put out against him last year. Naturally he chose to ignore the PRO but left New York and moved to Colorado.
JoJo attempted to start a business and a new life in Colorado in Mime related activities (yes, Mime) but wasn’t too successful. He was arrested early Tuesday morning after being set up by one of his victims. It appears he’s being held without bail.
Mr Camp was running as an independent candidate for Colorado House District 1. Let’s hope this arrest doesn’t interupt his campaign too much.
I am not positive the place you’re getting your information, however great topic.
I must spend a while finding out more or figuring out more.
Thank you for great info I used to be searching for this information for my mission.
Wow! This could be one of the most helpful blogs we’ve ever arrive across about this
subject.Superb. I’m also an expert in this topic hence
I can understand your effort.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or
tips for heroin addicts. Thankyou!

Thanks for the article
The environment for human rights in Turkey deteriorated in 2015 with the breakdown of the Kurdish peace process, a sharp escalation of violence in the southeast, and a crackdown on media and political opponents of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
There were two general elections in 2015. In the June 7 election, the AKP lost its overall majority polling at 41 percent, while the left-leaning pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democracy Party (HDP) polled 13 percent, for the first time passing the 10 percent threshold for entering parliament. Failure among the four main political parties to agree the formation of a coalition government precipitated a second general election on November 1, which the AKP won with 49 percent. The run-up to the November election was marked with violence, including an October 10 double suicide bombing in Ankara by individuals linked to the armed extremist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS). The bombing was the worst single attack in Turkey’s modern history, killing 102 people.
Turkey continued to host large number of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, primarily from Syria but also from Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries. The number from Syria surged in 2015, bringing the total to 2.2 million. Conditions and rights protections for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants remain uneven at best, including in relation to education and employment.
The war in Syria also had a growing impact on Turkey’s domestic politics. The AKP publicly advocated the overthrow of the Assad government and creation of a “safe zone” in northern Syria to house Syrian refugees. The latter proposal was strongly opposed by refugee and rights advocates who feared that Syrians could effectively be denied the ability to seek protection outside the country or returned to Syria while becoming easy targets for armed forces. The most notable shift in Turkey’s Syria policy came after the July Suruç bombing when Ankara reached an agreement with the United States to open a Turkish airbase for coalition airstrikes against ISIS and to play a limited role in airstrikes.
More than 400,000 Syrian refugee children living in Turkey are not attending school. While the Turkish government has been generous in its response toward the Syrian refugee crisis, Turkey has struggled to ensure that Syrian schoolchildren have the access to education to which they are entitled under international law.
Turkey was the main transit route in the European Union for asylum seekers and migrants in 2015, prompting Brussels to agree to a migration action plan with Ankara in November. A lack of effective protection in Turkey for Syrians and others, existing border restrictions with Syria imposed by Turkey, and Turkey’s record of police abuse gave rise to concerns that the deal could deny people access to asylum, trap people in Syria, and lead to police abuse and detention of asylum seekers who try to travel to the EU.
