FMA welcomes the news that journalist Raphael Boukandoura has been released from custody this evening following legal objections filed by @mlsaturkey.org.
FMA joins #pressfreedom groups and other journalist organizations in condemning the intensifying use of Turkey's "disinformation law" to arrest, detain, and prosecute journalists. A free and independent press is itself the most durable safeguard against the spread of false information.
RSF’s Erol Önderoğlu: “It is unacceptable that French journalist Raphaël Boukandoura faces risk of deportation after being taken into custody while reporting on protests in Sarıgazi, Istanbul. Boukandoura is not a protestor and cannot be treated as a criminal. This grave injustice must be reversed.”

RSF’den Erol Önderoğlu: İstanbul Sarıgazi’deki eylemi haberleştirmek isterken gözaltına alınan gazeteci Raphaël Boukandoura’nın sınırdışı edilme riskiyle karşı karşıya kalması kabul edilemez. Boukandoura eylemci olmadığı gibi gazeteciye suçlu muamelesi yapılamaz. Bu ağır haksızlıktan dönülmelidir.
