Lawyers of Can Dündar, the editor-in-chief Cumhuriyet newspaper, and Erdem Gül, Cumhuriyet’s Ankara representative, objected the arrestment of two journalists.
In the petition of objection that is presented to 7th Penal Court of Peace, it is stated: “We do our part by objecting the arrestment decision that contradicts our constiution, laws, the European Convention on Human Rights and the rulings of ECHR. The rest is up to you. It is your choice and responsibility.”
Last Thursday, Can Dündar, the editor-in-chief Cumhuriyet newspaper, and Erdem Gül, Cumhuriyet’s Ankara representative, were arrested because of their news reports about Turkey's intelligence agency's trucks loaded with guns.
