Milliyet newspaper employees Durukan and Çakkalkurt were acquitted of charges of "spreading propaganda for an illegal organization" on the grounds of one of their news items and so were Günlük daily officials Koçali and Pekgöz who were tried for the same reason.

The case against Günlük newspaper officials Koçali, Pekgöz and Çiçekçi has reached its final stage. They are tried for an interview with the leader of the Democratic Confederation of Kurdistan. Their lawyer requested their acquittal. The case continues on 23 November.

The court prosecutors demand prison sentences for journalist Mehmet Baransu on the grounds of his news about the "Aktütün" raid and for Koçali and Pekgöz from Günlük newspaper for their interview made in the headquarters of the PKK on Qandil Mountain.

News chief of Günlük newspaper Ramazan Pekgöz was threatened by a person on the street who said, "We finished Hrant Dink off. We will do the same to you". After Pekgöz complained at the police station in Taksim/Istanbul, the person who threatened him was arrested.
