* Hacı Boğatekin,the owner of Gerger Fırat newspaper and owner and Ali Turgay, assistant editor of Yedincigün newspaper have been arrested recently,and the number of arrested journalists with them is 23.


The third hearing of the case of 23 regime opponent, journalist, author and socialists among whom İbrahim Çiçek, Chief Editor of newspaper Atılım; Sedat Şenoğlu General Coordinator of Atılım; Radio Free Chief Editor Füsun Erdoğan; Bayram Namaz and Ziya Ulusoy, authors of Atılım seen, will be held on 5-6 June.


Socialists have been under arrest for 21 months from 8 September 2006. They can only have the chance of defence at this court hearing. Because they have the case file at last. Because they could'nt see the file that is the reason of their arrest at the trial held on 28 February, to protest this anti-law application they didn't do their defendant. In the accusation, 5 journalists and authors are wanted to be judged by life sentence in solitary confinement.
We invite national and international press organization, human rights associations, civil organizations, progressive parties to show sense and follow this big case, the application of Anti-Terror Law.
Freedom for the Arrested Journalists!
