Release of Jinnews journalist Ren postponed for 3 months

The release of Jinnews journalist Derya Ren, who has been in prison for nearly two years, was expected at the beginning of May, but was postponed for 3 months on the grounds that she was "not ready to integrate into society".

Jinnews journalist Derya Ren was detained along with many journalists during home raids in Amed on 25 October 2022, within the scope of an Ankara-based investigation.

Şanlıurfa 6th High Criminal Court sentenced Derya Ren to 3 years, 13 months and 15 days in prison on the charge of "knowingly aiding an illegal organization", and this sentence was approved by the Supreme Court in 2022.

According to Jinnews, the release of journalist Derya Ren, who was brought to the Administration and Observation Board in recent weeks, was expected at the beginning of May, but was postponed by the decision of the board.

It was said that one of the reasons why journalist Derya Ren's release was postponed was that on the first day she was taken to prison, she refused to be strip-searched by the guards.

It was also stated that Derya Ren's release was decided to be postponed for 3 months on the grounds that she was "not ready to integrate into society".
