Deutsche Welle reports that its correspondent Alican Uludag is re-arrested in Turkey after being released about two months earlier. DW says Uludag was taken back into custody following a new set of charges. The re-arrest occurs shortly after he was freed and ordered not to leave the country, according to DW’s account of his earlier case.
DW previously reported that Uludag was released pending trial in a separate matter, after detention on charges that included “insulting” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. After that release, he was subject to restrictions, including an order not to leave Turkey.
In the most recent reporting, DW states that Uludag’s release lasts only briefly, with authorities taking him into custody again on fresh charges a day after his release. The reports attribute the sequence of events to the existence of multiple cases and ongoing legal proceedings.
