Following the arrest of BirGün newspaper reporter İsmail Arı, which was justified by his social media posts and journalistic activities, his mother, Nurhayat Arı, has appealed to the authorities this Mother's Day for her son's release.
Nurhayat Arı, who is spending Mother's Day with a heavy heart because her son is in prison, stated in her video message: "Today is Mother's Day, but my son İsmail Arı is not by my side; he is in prison simply for doing his job as a journalist. Release my son."
This call, which has resonated widely with the public, has once again brought the issue of press freedom and the situation of journalists imprisoned for their professional work to the forefront.
