Turkey: rally in Ankara to protest against decision to cancel hundreds of press cards A small group of people gather in Ankara in front of the Directorate of Communications to protest a decision taken by authorities last week to cancel the press cards of hundreds of journalists without explanation, a measure seen by Turkey's Journalists' Union an attack on freedom of the press. The authorities reversed their decision on Sunday following backlash. Turkey ranked 157 out of 180 countries in the 2019 World Press Freedom index published by Reporters Without Borders.
