BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Turkish author Ece Temelkuran

HARDtalk speaks to Turkish author and journalist Ece Temelkuran about the difficulty in speaking out in Turkey especially since the recent failed coup.

HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Turkish author, Ece Temelkuran. Two months ago Turkey's elected Government managed to survive a botched military coup. A triumph for democracy? Not necessarily - not if you regard freedom of expression and an independent judiciary as prerequisites of a genuine democracy. Thousands of judges, journalists and civil servants have been locked up or sacked since the coup. Ece Temelkuran is a prominent author and journalist who knows how difficult it can be to speak out in Erdogan's Turkey. Is silence the only option?
