Message from CHP Chair Özel regarding Özlem Gürses: Leave the judiciary and journalists alone

Numerous messages are being shared regarding journalist Özlem Gürses, who was detained by plainclothes police in Ankara, where she had traveled to attend an awards ceremony.

CHP Chair Özgür Özel also shared a reaction message regarding the detention in question. Özel used the following expressions:

The judiciary, which the government has politicized, continues to intimidate journalists with detentions.

Journalist Özlem Gürses was first subjected to a lynching campaign due to a specific sentence that clearly suffered a shift in meaning under live broadcast conditions.

Now, even though she would have gone to give a statement if summoned, she was abruptly detained on the instructions of the Chief Public Prosecutor, who was appointed to Istanbul with a special mandate.

Put an end to this lawlessness immediately. Leave both the judiciary and journalists alone.
