2025 was one of the most consequential years in MLSA's history — and we have documented it in full.
Our 2025 Annual Report covers a year defined by mass arrests following the İmamoğlu protests, a surge in pre-trial detentions reaching a six-year high, landmark Constitutional Court rulings, and MLSA's work at every stage of the crisis: in courtrooms, in prisons, before international institutions, and in the press.
The report includes: 55 journalists defended, 13 acquittals secured, 30 Constitutional Court applications filed, 287 freedom of expression trials monitored across 25+ cities, and the highest-profile international case of the year — the defense and release of Swedish journalist Joakim Medin.
