In the Özgür Gündem Main Case at Istanbul 23rd Assize Court, Necmiye Alpay, Aslı Erdoğan and Bilge Aykut were acquitted. Files of Eren Keskin, Kemal Sancılı, İnan Kızılkaya and Zana Kaya were separated after their claims for additional time in order to prepare their defense statements.
Files of Filiz Koçali and Ragıp Zarakolu were separated as well, with warrants against them due to not testifying. The charge of “illegal organisation membership“ imposed against Aslı Erdoğan was abated due to time limitation.
