Reporters Without Borders condemned the arrest and criticised what they call the erosion in press freedom in Turkey. View on euronews
The article from MSN discusses the arrest of a Swedish journalist, Bahadir Kaleh, in Turkey on charges of insulting the President and terrorism. Kaleh, who works for the Swedish newspaper Expressen, was detained at his home in Istanbul. The arrest has sparked concerns over freedom of the press in Turkey, especially given the country's history of jailing journalists. The charges stem from an article Kaleh wrote about the Turkish government's response to the 2016 coup attempt.
