KCK Press Trial against 46 press members adjourned
The 32nd hearing of the KCK Press Trial, in which the Turkish judicial system targeted 46 press members, was held in Istanbul. The hearing was adjourned to January.
46 people, mainly journalists and media workers, are standing trial in the so-called ‘KCK Press Trial’for ‘being a member of an illegal organisation’, ‘being an executive of an illegal organisation’ and ‘making propaganda for an illegal organisation’.
The 32nd hearing of this case was held at the Istanbul Courthouse 3rd High Criminal Court in Çağlayan on Thursday.
Those on trial did not attend the hearing. The lawyer of journalist Yüksel Genç stated that a new case was filed against his client at Istanbul 25th High Criminal Court.
The lawyer stated that this case is similar to the current case in terms of the subject matter and the date of offence, and requested the case to be merged.
The court decided to request the case filed against Yüksel Genç at Istanbul Courthouse 25th High Criminal Court and to wait for the execution of the arrest warrant issued for İsmet Kayhan, one of the journalists targeted by the case. The court adjourned the hearing to 23 January 2025.
