Dicle-Firat (newspaper)

Dicle-Firat was a pro-Kurdish Turkish daily newspaper. It was published in Turkey and focused primarily on news and issues affecting the Kurdish population in the country. The newspaper's name, "Dicle-Firat," refers to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which are geographically and historically significant to the Kurdish region. The newspaper was known for its coverage of Kurdish culture, politics, and human rights. It was often subject to scrutiny and legal challenges by the Turkish authorities due to its perceived support for Kurdish separatism, with allegations of disseminating propaganda. The newspaper ceased publication in Turkey after it was shut down by government decree, often associated with broader crackdowns on Kurdish media outlets. It faced bans and closures under various anti-terrorism laws and state of emergency decrees.
