Thousands of Turkish journalists took to the streets here on Sunday demanding the release of colleagues in prison and raising the issue of press freedom.
Journalists supported by activists, intellectuals, and some opposition parties marched in central Istanbul.
Some carried banners that read “Freedom to journalists”, “No to wire tappings,” and “Justice right now,” an AFP photographer reported.
The photographs of arrested colleagues and murdered journalists were carried along side newspapers with headlines on press freedom.
The European Parliament in a resolution on March 9 also criticized Turkey for deteriorating freedom of the press.
