UNS database: In the year following the collapse of the awning, there were 126 cases of journalist endangerment, an increase compared to last year.

A growth trend has been recorded in every category, with the number of physical attacks on journalists being particularly alarming. According to the UNS database, there have been as many as 56 physical attacks in the past year, which is seven times more than last year. This number of physical attacks is by far the highest in the last five years.

While there were two documented instances of journalists being detained between November 1 of last year and the year before, there have been four times more such cases recorded since the roof collapse to date.

It is concerning that members of the police, who are supposed to protect journalists, are suspected in more than one-eighth of the total number of threats to journalists during this period.

Between the two November 1sts, there has also been a significant increase in the number of threats, with 43 threats recorded in the UNS database compared to 29 in the same period last year.

A higher number of pressures and insults has also been recorded - 34 compared to 30 last year, as well as cases of obstruction of work and discrimination against journalists - 33 compared to 27 last year.

Journalists who opposed editorial policies or shared protests on their private social media profiles were dismissed, with 27 such cases documented in the UNS database. The database also recorded three cases of censorship.

There have been seven attacks on property this year compared to last year (eight compared to one last year), as well as one case each of hacking and attempted eavesdropping more than last year (two cases in total). Additionally, five cases of doxing, or public sharing of personal information, and four direct intimidations of journalists have been recorded.
