How Turkey’s vague obscenity law is becoming a tool to criminalize LGBTI+ visibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In response to the anti-LGBTI+ operations this weekend, where over 100 people were detained during police raids, protesters gathered in front of İstanbul’s Çağlayan Courthouse and unfurled a purple and rainbow banner reading, "To be LGBTI+, to organize, is not a crime!

Turkey’s LGBTI+ community once enjoyed relative freedom with crowded prid
Two companies sent over 14 million barrels of oil from Ceyhan port to Israel amidst Turkey’s trade embargo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two little known private companies have grown into some of Israel’s most important “oil middlemen,” — companies that buy from producers to sell to refineries and end users, with the intention of “buying low and selling high.” And they’ve been able to do so largely thanks to Turkey’s Ceyhan port.

Behind the classroom: Private school teachers face unpaid work and job insecurity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Arda Soydan graduated from Erciyes University with a diploma in education and a passion for children. Unfortunately, his passion doesn’t provide enough to cover his bills, which is why just a year later Soydan found himself over 300 kilometers away from his Kayseri classroom at Ankara's Kurtuluş park. He and about 70 other private school educators from across Turkey have been regularly commuting to the capital since June to demonstrate in hopes of better wages and work conditions. Soydan loves t
