The head of a rights organization, Kaya, journalist Karahasanoğlu from Vakit newspaper and Kenan Kıran are standing trial for criticizing judicial decisions. Kaya claimed that freedom of criticism also included "disturbing statements" according to decisions of the ECHR.

A case under charges of "insult" was opened against Vakit newspaper because of an article about the play of transvestite actress Esmeray. Lawyer Öz criticized, "The trial should have been opened under charges of inciting the public to hatred and hostility".
