Dicle News Agency Continues to Report Despite Obstacles

The Dicle News Agency has been a beacon of hope for journalists and news enthusiasts alike, continuing to report on important stories despite the many obstacles they face.

Despite the challenges, Dicle News Agency has maintained its commitment to providing accurate and unbiased news to its audience.

Founded in 2005, Dicle News Agency has been a trusted source of information for over 15 years, with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality news content.

Their dedication to reporting the truth has allowed them to build a loyal following, with readers from all over the world relying on them for their news.

Dicle News Agency has been censored a staggering 48 times in just 16 months, but despite these pressures, they never gave up.

DİHA, as they're also known, has been a thorn in the side of the Turkish government since its founding on April 4, 2002.

The agency has been targeted by government despotic pressures since its inception, with the Information and Communication Technologies Authorities (TİB) blocking them off 48 times since 25 April 2016.

This is not a surprise, given that DİHA produces news reports in Turkish, Kurdish, and English, giving a voice to the Kurdish community in Turkey.

The agency's determination to continue reporting the truth is admirable, especially considering that 27 of its journalists were in prison as of March 2012, according to Reporters without Borders.

The Turkish government has taken significant actions against the Kurdish media.

In a move to restrict Kurdish news institutions, the Turkish government closed down several major and local Kurdish news agencies, magazines, and newspapers with a decree.

This decree was issued with the Power of Law, indicating the government's authority to make such decisions.

The decree resulted in the closure of 2 news agencies, 3 magazines, and 10 newspapers.
