	Have You Heard Initiative started a hashtag on twitter #YazmasalardıBilmeyecektik (We wouldn't have heard if they hadn't written) for MA reporters Adnan Bilen, Cemil Uğur, Jinnews reporter Şehriban Abi and journalist Nazan Sala arrested for breaking the news about Osman Şiban and Servet Turgut on the first month of their arrest. The initiative said, "They were accused of making news against the state, it was claimed that they were not journalists. However, we wouldn't have known if they hadn't written it.

	 

	The initiative shared the news about their detention on September 11, their turn up at the hospital on September 13, as well as the hospital report proving they were thrown out of the military helicopter to the journalists being arrested on October 9. The initiative wrote: "It is clear that the people who follow the news decides if they are journalists or not, not the government, not the court. We demand our colleagues who were arrested illegally to be released immediately."
