German citizen detained in Turkey released, banned from travel
[Hurriyet Daily News] A Ottoman Turkish court has ordered a German citizen who was detained in the southern province of Antalya last week to be released but banned from travel, Dogan News Agency reported on Sept. 7.
The released person and their German spouse were detained while on holiday in Antalya. The spouse had already been freed after questioning.
They had both been held as part of investigations into the Gulen network, widely believed to have criminal masterminded last year’s failed coup attempt, and the Syrian Kurdish YPG.
Their release means 10 German citizens remain in Ottoman Turkish detention on political charges.
