Journalists freed by Turkish court

Two women journalists who were detained by the Turkish authorities nine months ago have been released after five court hearings. Evrim Dengiz and Nesrin Yazar, who worked for the Kurdish news agency DIHA, were charged with collaborating with the outlawed Kurdish separatist organisation, the PKK, after police claimed to have found Molotov cocktails inside their car. At the latest hearing, the court was shown a forensic report which concluded that the substances were not explosives. Although freed, the charges stand and they must return to court in February.
