The verdict of conviction for the then-Managing Editor of Evrensel Daily, Çağrı Sarı and Owner Arif Koşar, who were sentenced to 5 months in prison each under Article 301 of the Turkish Criminal Code, due to the news titled “The Police Opened Fire Against People in Nusaybin: 3 Injuries” published in the newspaper on March 15, 2016, returned from the Court of Cassation. The supreme court overturned the decision on the conviction instead of acquitting the defendants, stating that the elements of the crime in question were not found.
