Huseyin Dogru

A German Journalist’s ‘Civil Death’

March 31, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , ,
Hüseyin Dogru is not given to histrionics or self-dramatizations, if this is what you’re thinking. He has been on the E.U.’s (increasingly long) sanctions list since May 20 of last year. While Dogru joins others dedicated to the truth of our time and the defense of their own integrity, he is the first E.U. citizen to be sanctioned and the first journalist to land on the list because of his work.  What is Dogru’s crime? Don’t ask: He has not committed one, has not been charged with one, and has not been permitted any opportunity to respond in court to those accusing him of … of practicing his profession and exercising his rights to free expression. 

EU Sanctions Journalist In Shocking First Over Gaza Reporting

In January, a post I saw on Twitter/X shocked me. “URGENT: As of now, I have ZERO access to any money,” Hüseyin Dogru wrote. “I can’t provide food for my family, including two newborns, due to EU sanctions.” Dogru is a journalist, a German citizen living in Berlin. After reading his post, I sent him a private message offering to order groceries and have them sent to his home. The reply shocked me even more. “Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to accept any financial or material support,” Dogru wrote. Dogru is the first European Union citizen known to be living inside the EU to face extrajudicial sanctions imposed by Brussels – robbing him of fundamental civil and humanitarian rights.
