Mete Akyol

The year was 1969; the incident I am going to tell happened that year during the beginning of an election campaign. Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Ali İhsan Göğüş paid a visit to party chair İsmet İnönü at his home and presented the candidate list to him that was to be handed over to the election council. Two journalists were accompanying him.

The "guard duty" established by Press Council High Commission member Do?an Satm?? and daily Cumhuriyet editorial consultant Mete Akyol in support of arrested Cumhuriyet journalists, at the gates of the prison where they are being held, continued into its fourth day on Dec. 6.
