Trial Date: 16 July 2024

Court Location: Diyarbakır 5th High Criminal Court

Charge: Terrorist Membership / Criminal

Journalist Ayşe Kara once again faced terrorism charges related to a 2020 investigation. Kara was first arrested on June 27, 2020, as part of an investigation into the pro-Kurdish nonprofit Democratic Society Congress (DTK). She faced terrorism charges due to her affiliation with the Free Journalists' Association (ÖGC), which disbanded during the State of Emergency in 2016. During her second hearing, the prosecutor sought Kara's conviction for "being affiliated with a terrorist organization" and "spreading propaganda for a terrorist organization," citing her connections with the DTK, ÖGC, and Free Women's Congress (KJA) as evidence.
