The supporters of Ergenekon, the terrorist group that claims among them, journalists, politicians, professors, retired soldiers, were outside the prison creating chaos.
Supporters of the terror organization include some from NGOs, Workers' Party and Kemalist Thought Association. The protesting groups, who were not flanked by the Police, created chaos immediately.
They went in the tents of the press to attack the press crews of some TV channels such as Samanyolu News.
The attacks slowed down once press crews reached out to the police units for help.
Press crews were able to find a peaceful atmosphere to carry out their tasks after the police increased their security measures.
