ALETHEA TALKS

Bülent Mumay: “My greatest motivation was to write about our democracy and my profession and to defend them.”


In an exclusive Alethea Talks interview, Turkish journalist Bülent Mumay talks about his new book “Das kann mich hinter Gitter bringen: Letters from Istanbul” and his commitment to democracy and journalism in his home country of Turkey.  Mumay is known for his work for Deutsche Welle and his column “Letter from Istanbul” as well as his podcast for the FAZ. After his second or third column in the FAZ, he was arrested for allegedly publishing reports critical of the government, but was released shortly afterwards. Despite ongoing risks, including a suspended 20-month prison sentence, he continues to write for German newspapers, exposing the looming threat of the “agent law”, which could see journalists working for foreign media jailed.
