Turkish Court Convicted Cumhuriyet Journalists

AFP

A Turkish court on April 25 convicted journalists from the opposition daily Cumhuriyet for helping outlawed "terrorist" organizations, Hurriyet reports.

The judge ordered the release of Cumhuriyet chairman Akın Atalay who had been in jail for over 500 days despite his conviction.

Greeted by his wife Adalet and a crowd of supporters shortly after he walked free from prison, Atalay said Cumhuriyet daily would not succumb to pressure or threats.

"As we have always said, they cannot intimidate Cumhuriyet newspaper, which will continue to tell the truth to its readers," he told reporters.
