SOLIDARITY STRENGTHENS US
 
In the message sent on behalf of all the journalists detained at the moment, the followings were stated: "The long detention process turned into torture and punishment. The process started to evolve into fabricating evidence. You will not be able to find anything other than evidence into the fact that we are journalists doing our jobs. Therefore, we are addressing the prosecutor, we want to see what you have. We want confontation. Don't prolongue this detention anymore than you have done so far. Otherwise you will be implicated. People will think if you are fabricating evidence. We did not commit any crime. We did our jobs as journalists. We demand to be released. On this occasion we would like to thank all our colleagues, press organisations, non-governmental organisations and our international friends who have not left us alone and supported us for the past week. Solidarity strengthens us."
