Turkey: Press Freedom Groups Call for Release of Journalists
------------------------------------------------------------

In Turkey, press freedom advocates rallied Tuesday to protest the arrest
of two journalists and an academic on accusations of disseminating
terrorist propaganda. Among those arrested was the head of the local
Reporters Without Borders chapter. The three had taken part in a
solidarity campaign for the pro-Kurdish newspaper Özgür Gündem.
