    Journalists Nazlı Ilıcak and Ahmet Altan were sentenced for "aiding an armed terrorist organization" after a prolonged legal process.

    02

    The current sentences of 3 years 9 months for Ilıcak and 4 years 6 months for Altan are the result of a retrial following two Supreme Court of Appeals reversals.

    03

    Their case has seen multiple judicial outcomes, including initial aggravated life sentences and subsequent releases, highlighting the complex nature of the legal proceedings.

    " The Istanbul 26th High Criminal Court, on March 12, 2026, sentenced Ilıcak to 3 years and 9 months, while Altan received a 4-year and 6-month sentence. This latest ruling follows two previous reversals by Turkey's Supreme Court of Appeals. " Following this, in 2019, Altan was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months, and Ilıcak to 8 years and 9 months. They were subsequently released from prison.

    The Supreme Court of Appeals' 16th Criminal Chamber then overturned these sentences a second time, deeming the applied sentence reductions insufficient. The recent court decision is the outcome of the retrial initiated after these Supreme Court of Appeals' reversals.
