Turkish authorities put Deutsche Welle (DW) correspondent Alican Uludag on trial, according to DW. Uludag has been in custody in Turkey for about three months. DW reports that part of the case against him includes charges of “insulting the president.” His court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, but it will be conducted only via video link rather than in person, as described by DW.
DW frames the proceedings as an issue affecting press freedom, pointing to how Uludag’s detention and the charges related to public criticism are being handled through the judicial process. The reporting does not indicate a verdict or the next steps in the case beyond the scheduled first appearance. Based on the information provided, the key points center on the length of Uludag’s detention, the nature of at least one allegation, and the format of his initial court appearance via video link.
