The two news agencies are the ones from which nine journalists were remanded in custody recently following the detentions in police operations involving house raids in six different cities on October 25.
In three separate investigations, 26 journalists working for the agencies have been remanded in custody since June.
bianet correspondents and editors visited the office of MA in Beyoğlu, İstanbul, where they exchanged views on creating public awareness against the arrests and the oppression of the press in general. (HA/PE/VK)
