Journalist and writer Nurcan Baysal was detained in Turkey’s southeastern province of Diyarbakır on charge of “membership in a terrorist organization”. Taken to the Diyarbakır Anti-Terror Branch on the ground that there was a warrant previously issued against her, Baysal deposed to the Penal Judgeship of Peace on Duty.
It has been reported that she deposed on the allegation of “membership in a terrorist organization” on the ground that she attended a meeting held by the Democratic Society Congress (DTK) in Diyarbakır in 2012.
Being released from custody, Baysal’s warrant has also been lifted (3 July).
