Impunity is institutionalized, as political and armed groups weaponize the judiciary to detain and intimidate reporters. This systematic obstruction of justice protects perpetrators, erodes constitutional rights, and makes independent journalism a lethal profession in Yemen’s fractured conflict.

The strategy seeks to render the opposition dysfunctional while maintaining a façade of pluralism. This judicial pressure, targeting popular figures like Mayor İmamoğlu, risks consolidating one-man rule and further eroding Turkey’s democratic traditions.
