In mid-September 2026, Turkish authorities launched a sweeping operation titled 'My Family is Safe,' targeting the LGBTQ+ community across 15 provinces.
2026年9月中旬，土耳其當局發起了一項名為「我的家庭是安全的」(Wǒ de jiātíng shì ānquán de)的大規模行動，針對全國15個省份的LGBTQ+社群。
The coordinated crackdown resulted in dozens of detentions and judicial proceedings against over 160 suspects, including leaders of LGBTQ+ associations and owners of venues like gay bars.
這場協調一致的鎮壓行動導致數十人被拘留，並對超過160名嫌疑人提起司法訴訟，其中包括LGBTQ+協會的領導人以及同志酒吧等場所的業主。
Furthermore, courts ordered the blocking of numerous websites associated with prominent advocacy groups such as Kaos GL and Lambda Istanbul.
此外，法院下令封鎖了許多與Kaos GL和Lambda Istanbul等知名倡議團體相關的網站。
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek defended the move, claiming it aimed to 'protect the family' and maintain public order.
司法部長Akın Gürlek為此舉辯護，聲稱其旨在「保護家庭」並維護公共秩序。
This operation aligns with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s 'Decade of Family and Population' initiative, which seeks to boost birth rates and emphasize traditional values.
此項行動與總統雷傑普·塔伊普·埃爾多安(Léijiépǔ Tǎyīpǔ Āi'ěrduō'ān)的「家庭與人口十年計畫」相呼應，該計畫旨在提高出生率並強調傳統價值觀。
However, human rights advocates have strongly criticized the crackdown, labeling it a political maneuver designed to silence civil society and purge LGBTQ+ visibility.
然而，人權倡議人士強烈批評這場鎮壓，稱其為旨在壓制公民社會並剷除(chǎnchú)LGBTQ+能見度的政治手段。
Critics argue that the government frequently uses 'public morality' laws and allegations of foreign funding to justify repression, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing struggle for rights and expression in Turkey.
批評者認為，政府經常利用「公共道德」法律和外國資金的指控來合理化壓迫，這標誌著土耳其境內爭取權利與表達自由的鬥爭出現了顯著的升級。
