The first hearing of the lawsuit filed against former Birgün Daily executives İbrahim Aydın, Barış İnce, Can Uğur and Bülent Yılmaz was held due to “aiding and abetting FETÖ without membership” through the news reported via Twitter account with username “Fuat Avni” between the years 2014 and 2016. In their defense statements, the four names underlined freedom of information as the sole motive of the news and that the charges attempt to defame the newspaper. Istanbul 32nd Assize Court scheduled the next hearing for March 5, 2020 at 10:00.
