According to him, “Press Council asked to release all imprisoned journalists when it appealed to Pardon Commission. We never discuss journalists’ personalities who are proper for release. We raised a matter related to release of imprisoned journalists who are accused under Article 147 and 148 of the Criminal Code. Those meetings were held with the imprisoned journalists who noted their serious problems in the appeal”.
