Mezopotamya Agency reporter Ergin Çağlar and Jinnews reporter Rozerin Gültekin were detained during the Gemlik March in Bursa, which was held with the slogan “We are marching to Gemlik to defend freedom against the policy of isolation” to protest the visitation ban imposed on Abdullah Öcalan (June 12).
Gültekin and Çağlar were taken to Bursa Police Department and then released after their statements were completed at night. Journalists were charged with “violating the Law on Meetings and Demonstrations” (June 13).
