Erdem Dimi Encouraged Expert Responding to by İmamoğlu’s

Following the investigation initiated due to the meeting entitled “Expert Responding Rights Encouraged by İmamoğlu” and the subsequent broadcasts, a detention decision was issued against Suat Toktaş, the General Director of Halk TV.

Halk TV presenter Barış Pehlivan, and Programs Director Kürşad Oğuz were released under judicial control.

Cafer Mahiroğlu, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Halk TV, reacted to the arrest of veteran journalist Suat Toktaş with a statement on his social media account.

“WE HAVE COME TO THE POINT WHERE WORDS END”

In his statement, Mahiroğlu used the following expressions:

“When I received Halk TV, I learned that my destiny companion Suat, whom we have been walking together in brotherhood law since the day I took over Halk TV, was arrested. A journalist with a known address and job, with no suspicion of fleeing or tampering with evidence, why is he being held in pre-trial detention in an investigation? Isn’t detention a precaution in our legal system? What kind of precaution is this? Where in the world does an investigation result in a detention order? I don’t know what to say, we have come to the point where words end. Just as we have remained loyal to the truth until today as Halk TV, we will continue on our path with the same loyalty. We will not hesitate to fight for our friend’s rights and justice.”
