A Turkish court has ordered the release of three journalists previously detained for their reporting. Their arrests sparked criticism over press freedom in the country, where reporters often face legal action.
Authorities accused the journalists of violating national security laws. However, their lawyers argued that they were simply doing their jobs. After reviewing the case, the court ruled in their favor and granted them release while legal proceedings continue.
Rights groups welcomed the decision but urged stronger protections for journalists. They stressed that media professionals should not face prosecution for their work and called for judicial reforms.
Despite this ruling, independent journalism in Turkey remains under pressure. Many reporters still battle legal cases, and media restrictions continue to shape the country’s political landscape.
