Law enforcement officials detained four people yesterday within the scope of the ongoing Ergenekon probe, including Mehmet Sabuncu, the owner of daily Aydınlık, while around 100 supporters of the Workers’ Party (İP) gathered before Sabuncu’s flat to protest the raid.
“They are terribly afraid of us because we are defending the country. We are going to call everything to account. We do not fear repression. Aydınlık has no single owner, it has thousands. Aydınlık’s owner is the people,” the daily’s editor-in-chief, Serhan Bolluk, said in a press statement he issued while security forces were still searching Sabuncu’s flat.
