Turkey jails journalist with Germany's DW for 'insulting president'

Alican Uludag was arrested in Ankara on Thursday evening following a warrant issued by the Istanbul public prosecutor's office, which said it had opened an investigation into him for "insulting" President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and "disseminating false news" in connection with "certain posts" on X. Uludag was driven to Istanbul and quizzed by prosecutors on Friday morning "who asked about 22 social media posts from the past year", the MLSA legal rights group said, indicating the probe had been approved by the justice ministry.
