Journalists Hülya Kılınç, Murat Ağırel and Barış Pehlivan were sent to prison yesterday as the appeals court upheld their prison sentences over their news and articles about the funeral of an intelligence officer who died in Libya.

Shortly after the court ruled for their release on probation considering the time they had already spent behind bars, journalists Barış Pehlivan, Hülya Kılınç and Murat Ağırel have been released.

Announcing his opinion as to the accusations ahead of their second hearing, prosecutor demands that eight people, including seven journalists, three of whom behind bars, shall be sentenced to prison for revealing the identity of an intelligence officer.

The court has rejected the request for release of journalists Barış Pehlivan, Murat Ağırel and Hülya Kılınç “because they might destroy evidence and have flight risk.” The journalists are behind bars for disclosing the identity of an intelligence officer.

The court has rejected the objection to the arrest of journalists Barış Pehlivan, Murat Ağırel and Hülya Kılınç. The Presiding Judge has expressed a dissenting opinion, indicating that the journalists should have been released on probation.

Six journalists appeared before court today after months of pre-trial detention in the case over the reports on a MİT officer’s death in Libya.

Odatv Editor-in-Chief Barış Pehlivan has been arrested over a news report on a National Intelligence Organization (MİT) officer who lost his life in Libya. News director Barış Terkoğlu and reporter Hülya Kılınç were also arrested over the same report.
