On February 7, 2026, the Tenkil Museum—a German civil society initiative documenting post-2016 human rights abuses in Turkey—opened its latest traveling exhibition "The Tenkil Catastrophe: Confronting and Healing" in Hanau, Germany, attracting thousands of visitors.
Held at Schloßplatz 1, the event introduced the "Media & Tenkil" section for the first time, spotlighting media's role in the systematic oppression known as "tenkil" (exclusion, expulsion, and eradication).
The exhibition highlights personal stories of purge victims, including Gülenists, via belongings like glasses, prisoner letters, and children's drawings. The Media & Tenkil section displays documents and testimonies from victimized journalists.
