>22 journalists are under arrest in prisons of Turkey now. Whereas the 
>number
>of the imprisoned journalists after TMY (so-called as "Struggle with 
>Society
>Law" in public) is valid by June 2006 is 18. That is; the 18 of the 22
>journalists were arrested in the last six months.
>Even that data by itself reflects that TMY is practiced against the freedom
>of the press and idea. The arrestments of various members of DTP 
>(Democratic
>Society Party), the oppression on the regime opponent parties and
>organizations reveal that the TMY is the part of the direct attack against
>the freedom of word, action and organization.
>The democratic reaction against 301 must be practiced also against TMY.
>Besides; TMY attacks the freedom of thought more extensively than 301st
>item.
>The first trial of the arrested regime opponent journalists and ESP members
>who are arrested  with the attack of TMY, which is organized on September
>2006,against legal institutions and foundations like newspaper Atilim, Free
>Radio, LIMTER-Is (Union of the Workers of harbor and dock), Tekstil-Sen 
>(the Union of Textile), BEKSAV will be held in 13th of April in Istanbul. 
>The
>first hearing of the arrested ones among whom Emin Orhan, the columnist of
>newspaper Atilim; Özge Kelekçi, the correspondent of Atilim, Halil
>Dinç; news manager of Free Radio; Sinan Gerçek, the employee of the Radio
>also exist is very important for the future of TMY. We hold the anxiety 
>that
>TMY will hurt a lot of lives if it is not blocked.
>On the other hand; even the trial date of a number of author and 
>journalists
>among whom Ibrahim Çiçek, general manager of press in Atilim;  Sedat
>Senoglu, general press coordinator of Atilim; Füsun Erdogan, general  
>manager
>of broadcast in Free Radio exist, has not been declared yet. That situation
>shows strikingly the way TMY is practiced and its modalities. We see what
>TMY is by experiencing it.
>Call for Press Statement
>ESP will make a press statement about the trial on 13th of April, in
>Bak&#305;rköy Freedom Square on March 25, 2007 at 11:00.
>We call the press, press organizations, sensitive people and institutions
>about the freedom of word, action and organization to come and support the
>statement.
>Freedom for the Arrested Journalists!
>     Cancel the TMY!
