MA Editor-in-Chief Diren Yurtsever, reporters Berivan Altan and Ceylan Şahinli, and JINNEWS reporters Habibe Eren and Öznur Değer, who were arrested as part of the Ankara-based investigation, spoke about the violations of rights they experienced with the practices of the prison administration.

 

JINNEWS reporter Habibe Eren, who met with her lawyer, stated that they could not use the television in the common area due to the fact that the sockets were not working, and said, “The sockets do not work in the common area in the F-2 ward. Because of this, we had to leave the TV in a friend's ward. We raised this problem to the prison administration, but there was no solution.”

 

Eren said that the prison administration tried to prevent the common lives of journalists and that "special" efforts were made to deprive them of communication rights.
