Hundreds gathered outside the Istanbul office of opposition newspaper
Cumhuriyet yesterday to protest against the arrest of its editor and Ankara
correspondent.

 

Editor Can Dundar and reporter Erdem Gul are languishing in an Istanbul jail
after being arrested on Thursday on charges of espionage and terrorism.
Their crime was to publish photos in May of Turkish lorries carrying arms in
Syria.

The images date from January 2014, when border guards discovered the
shipment by intelligence agents.

 

Opposition Kemalist CHP party MP Baris Yarkadas said: "The government does
not want any journalist to see what kind of a calamity they have involved
Turkey in."
