Turkish prosecutors have indicted seven journalists who were held in pretrial detention for several days last month for covering mass protests following the arrest of İstanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, the most powerful political rival of President Recep Tayyip #Erdoğan. The journalists face charges of violating Turkey’s Law on Meetings and Demonstrations, with prosecutors seeking prison sentences ranging from six months to three years, according to the Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA).
