They could remain in police detention until early next week when they will be brought before the prosecutors to hear the charges against them. Both Sik and Sener are believed to be detained for their research into and writings about the Ergenekon investigation under which over 200 people are being tried on allegations of involvement in coup plots. PEN International considers that the two men are held solely for their writings and calls for their release. "
