In the battle for Turkey鈥檚 future and its soul, who is winning? More than 150 journalists are currently in prison in Turkey. President Erdogan鈥檚 government stands accused of an all-out assault on freedom of expression. Stephen Sackur talks to Can D眉ndar, former editor of the Turkish daily Cumhuriyet, who has experienced imprisonment, life threatening violence and exile in the last couple of years after publishing material which infuriated the Turkish president.
