21 November 2019: Gazete Yolculuk reporter freed after 2-day detention Buse Söğütlü, a reporter for Gazete Yolculuk news portal, was taken into custody in Istanbul on the night of 19 November 2019 on the grounds that she had an incomplete statement to deliver to a prosecutor as part of an investigation against her on the allegation of “disseminating propaganda for a terrorist group.” The investigation was launched over a post Söğütlü made on social media about Judge Akın Gürlek. Reportedly, Söğütlü had already gone twice to the courthouse to give her statement but she could not reach the prosecutor. Söğütlü was released from detention on 21 November 2019. |
