Taylan Özgür Öztaş, a reporter for Özgür Gelecek (Free Future), Serpil Ünal, a reporter for Mücadele Birliği (Struggle Union), and Kardelen Yoğungan, a reporter for Kızıl Bayrak (Red Flag), were taken into custody during a police intervention against the press statement attempted to be held by dismissed Sinbo workers in front of the factory in İstanbul’s Avcılar on April 19, 2021.
Öztaş and Yoğungan were released after they gave their statements at the police station. Ünal was released a day later, on April 20, after spending one night at the detention center on the grounds of a detention warrant issued against her over a missing statement as part of an investigation against her due to her social media posts.
