In Turkey, there has been a crackdown on press freedom that its journalists are describing as a “witch-hunt,” the Guardian reported just a day before World Press Freedom Day. Reporters have been prosecuted, harassed or deported for speaking out against corruption, “insulting religious values“ or criticizing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. In December, 14 journalists were behind bars in Turkey — among 199 imprisoned worldwide.

Journalists across the globe are operating under “a climate of fear and tension,”according to Reporters Without Borders, or RSF. The 2016 World Press Freedom Index published by RSF in April reveals that there has been a general decline in media freedoms worldwide between 2013 and 2016.

In an exhibition titled, “A Cry of Freedom: Cartoonists for Freedom of Information,” organized by Reporters Without Borders, Spanish cartoonists highlight the dire state of journalism around the world, while capturing the bravery that journalists show in the face of danger and repression. The exhibit opens at the FNAC Castellana in Madrid on Thursday, before making more stops in Valencia, Alicante, Barcelona and Malaga.
