Hundreds protest after two journalists jailed in Turkey
Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the office of an opposition newspaper in Istanbul after two journalists were jailed pending trial for reporting on alleged Turkish arms smuggling to Syria.
The demonstrators accuse the government of silencing critics and attempting to cover-up a scandal after Cumhuriyet’s editor-in-chief Can Dundar and the paper’s Ankara representative Erdem Gul were jailed over terror and espionage charges.
