Sedef Kabaš to Speak at the 6th Sarajevo Festival
Renowned Turkish Journalist and Writer to Discuss Struggle Journalism with Authoritarian Regimes
Sedef Kabaš, a prominent Turkish journalist and writer, will deliver a lecture at the 6th Sarajevo Festival on Sunday, September 15, at the Sarajevo National Theater.
Kabaš’s lecture, titled “Struggle Journalism with Authoritarian Regimes,” is highly anticipated due to her extensive journalistic experience and recent controversies surrounding her work.
A seasoned TV presenter and journalist with a three-decade-long career, Kabaš gained international attention in 2022 for her arrest and alleged insult of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
