Three Turkish journalists were detained under anti-terror laws, sparking concerns over press freedom.

Three journalists from the left-leaning Turkish newspaper BirGun were detained under anti-terror laws for a story related to Istanbul's chief prosecutor. The journalists were taken from their homes but were later released without formal arrest. The detentions were condemned by Reporters Without Borders and Turkey's main opposition party, CHP. The incident highlights concerns over press freedom in Turkey, where at least 30 journalists and media workers were in prison as of January 2025.
