Those efforts intensified after an attempted coup in 2016. Under Erdogan, Turkey is a notoriously repressive regime against journalism or perceived dissent of any kind. (Turkey is ranked 154th out of 180 countries in the <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/ranking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021 World Press Freedom Index<\/a>. It has drawn stern rebukes from its crackdown on dissenters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2021\/06\/04\/turkey-flouts-european-court-judgments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from the European Court of Human Rights<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Even an athlete of Buyukuncu\u2019s stature is not immune from such persecution.

His career achievements include four FINA World Cup gold medals and a bronze at the Short-Course World Championships in 2000 in the 100 back.
