Evliya Çal

Public prosecutor Evliya Çal??kan has said "espionage" charges against daily Cumhuriyet journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül, who are on trial for reporting on Turkish intelligence trucks allegedly transporting weapons to rebel groups in Syria, are "unfounded." 

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has assigned a new prosecutor to the controversial case of daily Cumhuriyet editor-in-chief Can Dündar and Ankara bureau chief Erdem Gül, two days before its first hearing on March 25 after the duo's release upon a Constitutional Court decision.
