Twenty-nine years have passed since the prominent Kurdish journalist, Musa Anter, known as Apê (Uncle) Musa was murdered in Diyarbakir (Amed) in southeast Turkey on 20 September 1992. Anter was a respected writer and journalist who dedicated his life to the freedom of the press. He was assassinated by the notorious Turkish intelligence agency JİTEM – (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Anti-Terrorism Unit). The Musa Anter and Free Press Martyrs Journalism Competition was started in his memory and has been held annually ever since.

This year the competition was organised by the Yeni Yasam newspaper. Winners of the competition were announced in five different categories: Turkish News, Kurdish News, Photography (photojournalism), Caricature and Women’s Journalism, this last in memory of Gurbetelli Ersöz, a Kurdish journalist and the first female editor-in-chief of the Özgür Gündem newspaper, which was based in Turkey.

The awards will be presented to the winners at a ceremony at 18.00 on 20 September at the Şişli Municipality Cemil Candaş City Cultural Centre.
