Ankara - NNA
The chief editor of Turkish newspaper Hurriyet was Monday presented with a Freedom of Speech award by German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle as concerns grow over press freedom in Turkey.
Sedat Ergin, who was in Bonn to receive the award, was charged last December with insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a headline on the newspaper's website.
If found guilty, he faces up to five years and four months in prison. His trial has not yet begun.
"Hurriyet is one of the biggest and one of the last independent media outlets, a torch of liberty and one of the last bastions of freedom of opinion in Turkey," said Kai Diekmann, editor-in-chief of Bild, Germany's biggest-selling daily, in remarks made at the award ceremony.
One of Turkey's most popular dailies, Hurriyet mixes mainstream news coverage that generally toes the government line with popular columnists known for their opposition to Erdogan, such as the very prominent Ahmet Hakan
