Turkish journalism groups say independent outlets denied accreditation for a NATO summit in Ankara

Several independent Turkish media outlets, including Halk TV and Cumhuriyet newspaper, were denied accreditation to cover a NATO summit in Ankara, with journalism groups criticizing the decision as a violation of media freedoms. NATO relies on the host country for accreditation decisions, while Turkish authorities detained over 200 people ahead of the summit, drawing criticism from Human Rights Watch and opposition groups.
