Event Summary

Germany expressed strong irritation over the renewed detention of Deutsche Welle correspondent Alican Uludağ in Turkey. Uludag was detained on suspicion of inciting hatred and spreading misleading information, but was later released under judicial control with a travel ban. The incident exacerbates diplomatic tensions between Germany and Turkey over press freedom, and comes amid broader international criticism of Turkey's treatment of journalists. Germany noted that Turkish actions violate press freedom commitments under the European Council and European Convention on Human Rights, but stated it would not intervene diplomatically as Uludag is not a German national.
