Campaign Calls for Lifting EU Sanctions on Journalist Hüseyin Doğru

Press freedom groups warn that sanctions set a precedent for restricting independent media in Europe.

An international campaign is urging the European Union to lift sanctions imposed on journalist Hüseyin Doğru, arguing they threaten press freedom and lack due process. Doğru, founder of red.media, was sanctioned in 2025 over alleged disinformation and links to foreign influence, accusations he denies. Supporters, including DiEM25, say the measures were imposed without trial or conviction and forced the outlet to shut down. Critics argue the sanctions are politically motivated, while others defend them over alleged misinformation concerns. The case has sparked wider debate over media freedom, digital regulation, and political reporting in Europe.
