Füsun Erdoğan

Füsun Erdoğan (born 4 September 1960) is a radio journalist from Turkey that was sentenced to prison during Operation Gaye. She was accused of involvement in a banned organization, the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party (MKLP), under the Anti-Terror Law of Turkey. She was imprisoned in the Gezbe Women's Prison near Istanbul without completion of a trial for eight years. She claims that she was targeted due to her political opinions and her status as a journalist, stating that the "police was trying to intimidate members of the progressive, independent, democratic and alternative media." Others have also argued she was imprisoned for criticizing the government of Turkey. She was released on pending a final trial. However, Erdoğan, having dual Turkish-Dutch citizenship, moved to the Netherlands as an asylum seeker in 2014. Provided by Wikipedia
