	VAN - A law suit was filed against journalist Nazan Sala for allegedly being a reporter at ROJ TV as a result of an investigation launched 12 years ago.

	&nbsp;

	While Roj TV broadcasting via satallite with a licence from Denmark was closed down after a law suit concluded in 2012, Van Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched a new investigation against Nazan Sala whose name was on the minutes of the investigation ended in non-prosecution in 2021. The indictment prepared by the Prosecutor's Office on the charge of "being a member of a terrorist organization" was accepted by the Van 5th High Criminal Court.

	&nbsp;

	ROJ TV REPORTER

	&nbsp;

	In the indictment, it was alleged that ROJ TV was the media outlet of the PKK-KCK and that it was propagandizing a terrorist organisation, and that journalist Nazan Sala participated in the &nbsp;the crime by working as a reporter for ROJ TV in Van. The fact that the date of crime was noted as 2017 attracted attention since the television was closed at the time.

	&nbsp;

	HELICOPTER CASE

	&nbsp;

	The prosecutor requested that the case be merged with the helicopter case, which was filed against 5 journalists, including Nazan Sala, who broke the story of Servet Turgut and Osman Şiban who were thrown out of a military helicopter in Van.The five journalists are on trial for that case with the accusation of 'being a member of a terrorist organisation' and 'propagandising a terrorist organisation'.

	&nbsp;

	TWO FILES WERE MERGED

	&nbsp;

	Accepting the indictment, the Van 5th High Criminal Court decided to merge the two files on the grounds that there was a personal, legal and factual connection.&nbsp;
