Kamil Maman
Kamil Maman is a Turkish journalist working in exile from Canada, originally a writer for the daily newspaper Bugün until it was seized by the Turkish government in 2015.[1] In connection with the seizure, Maman was arrested and subject to torture by Turkish police.[2] In Turkish media, all of which is more or less controlled by the state, he has been termed a "fugitive" as well as a "terrorist" and it has been claimed he is a member of the Gülen movement.[3][4] In 2018, his Patreon account was terminated after the Turkish government had threatened the San Francisco-based company to block the entire site in the country.[1][5]
