Turkey detains DW journalist over Erdogan posts amid press-freedom concerns
Turkish authorities formally arrested Alican Uludag of Deutsche Welle for allegedly insulting President Erdogan in X posts, later transferring him to Istanbul where prosecutors charged him with insult and disseminating misleading information and threaten up to four years in prison; DW and press-freedom advocates condemned the move as intimidation and part of a broader pattern of journalist repression in Turkey.
