Twitter support for missing Turkish journalists
Adem Ozkose, Middle East correspondent for Gercek Hayat magazine and a columnist for Milat newspaper, and Hamit Coskun, a cameraman, have gone missing in Syria. Support for them has been gathering under the following hashtags: #ademozkose and #hamitcoskun
- Most of the tweets are in Turkish, so we have provided a rough English translation after each one.
