TURKEY-POLITICS-MEDIA-TRIAL-DEMO-press

Protestors hold placards with images of jailed journalists and words which translate as "You are not alone" during a demonstration in front of a courthouse in Istanbul on December 25, 2017. The controversial trial of staff from Turkey's main opposition daily on terror-related charges was set to resume in a case seen as a test for media freedom under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Prosecutors accuse 17 current and former writers, cartoonists and executives from Cumhuriyet ("Republic") of supporting terror groups, which have been criticised by their supporters as ridiculous and caused an international outcry. / AFP PHOTO / Bulent Kilic (Photo credit should read BULENT KILIC/AFP via Getty Images)
