	NEWS CENTER - Noting that ordinary criminals have been released based on the law on criminal enforcement, “Have You Heard” Initiative says, “In these days of life and death, the government has once again prepared a law that is far from the law and conscience.”

	 

	Formed by a group of journalists to raise concerns and publicity about the imprisoned journalists in Turkey, "Haberin Var Mı" (Have You Heard) Initiative has released a new video and said, "Freedom, before it is too late."

	 

	In its statement, the Initiative has emphasized the following points:

	 

	"In the days of life and death, the government has once again prepared a law that is far from the law and conscience.

	 

	"It has discriminated against ill prisoners and the ones in the risk group, political arrestees, journalists and lawyers. It has released the convicts by granting them an exclusive amnesty.

	 

	"Consolidating the enemy law rather than taking measures against Covid-19, these policies should be ended immediately.

	 

	"The number of positive cases in prisons is increasing, news of deaths are coming. Food and hygiene conditions are posing a big risk to all arrestees.

	 

	"We are once again repeating our request for release for the ones unjustly and unlawfully arrested and over 100 journalists before it is too late."
