CAMPAIGNERS are demanding the release of Turkey’s “forgotten journalist” as the government is set to free 100,000 prisoners amid the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Hatice Duman, the former editor of socialist newspaper Atilim, is believed to be the world’s longest-jailed reporter. 

She was arrested in 2002 and sentenced to life in prison for alleged crimes including “management of a terrorist organisation,” though she has always denied the charges.
