  • Eight people including seven journalists have gone on trial in Turkey charged with "revealing state secrets" in a case condemned by rights groups. The court ordered the conditional release late Wednesday of three of the journalists pending the resumption of the trial on September 9. They are OdaTV news director Baris Terkoglu and two from pro-Kurdish Yeni Yasam daily, Ferhat Celik and Aydin Keser, Reporters Without Borders said on Twitter. The judge at the Istanbul court said two other journalists, Odatv editor-in-chief Baris Pehlivan and reporter Hulya Kilinc, must remain in jail. A seventh journalist is abroad and being tried in absentia, while a civil servant is free pending trial. The eight are accused of "exposing information that must remain secret for state security reasons" and "exposing information related to intelligence activity", the official Anadolu news agency said. They face up to 20 years in prison. Terkoglu and Kilinc were arrested after an article was published on the website in March this year on a Turkish officer's quiet burial in Manisa, western Turkey, after allegedly having been killed in Libya. Turkey has in recent months helped the UN-recognised government in Tripoli with military advisors, drones and air defence systems to repel an offensive by strongman Khalifa Haftar. "I did not reveal the identity (of the agent killed), nor those of his family or other agents," Kilinc, who had written the article, told the court Wednesday. "All I did was my work as a journalist," she added. Terkoglu previously served 19 months in jail in 2011-12 after he was accused of taking part in an alleged plot to topple the government. He was later released along with many others at the time and the case later fell apart. The journalists from Yeni Yasam are accused of disclosing information regarding Turkish military activities in Libya in articles published in February, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Turkey is regularly accused by rights groups of violating press freedom by arresting journalists and closing down media organs. RSF ranks Turkey 154th out of 180 countries for press freedom. According to the P24 press freedom group, there are 96 journalists behind bars in Turkey, many arrested in a crackdown after a coup attempt in 2016. gkg-raz/fo/wdb
