Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has released the following statement on the conviction of Wall Street Journal reporter Ayla Albayrak, a Finnish citizen, by a Turkish court:

I’m deeply disturbed by reports that a Turkish court has sentenced Wall Street Journal reporter Ayla Albayrak to more than two years in prison based on false charges. 

The real reason for Ms. Albayrak’s conviction is that she had the courage and skill to objectively report about the diverse political viewpoints in Turkey and around the region. 

Ms. Albayrak’s sentencing adds to a troubling crackdown on the free press by President Erdogan’s government in Turkey, where independent media outlets have been closed and countless journalists have been jailed. 

The United States should urge the Turkish government to reverse this baseless conviction and release all journalists wrongly imprisoned, and stand up for human rights in Turkey and around the world.

 Ayla Albayrak is safe in New York.
