Journalist Özlem Gürses was taken into custody after using the words, “as you can see, the ISIS structure, that is, the TSK-SMO structure, has made small gains in regions with a Kurdish population,” in a video published on her YouTube channel TV OZ. In the investigation initiated by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, she faced charges of “insulting the institutions and organs of the state” and “deliberately spreading misleading information to the public.” The journalist was brought before a judge with a request for arrest, but was released under judicial control with house arrest and a travel ban (December 21).
