PPF Secretary General Owais Aslam Ali has called on the Turkish authorities to immediately release the journalist and drop all charges against him.

According to IPS Communication Foundation-Bianet, Turkish court on December 20 arrested Gülseven and sent him to the Maltepe Prison in İstanbul.

The journalist was the editor of daily newspaper Yurt and he was held responsible for not paying the damages for the cases that were filed against him during the period he was working with the newspaper. The unpaid compensation penalties lead to prison sentences in the country.
