Nine journalists and a human rights activist have been arrested and charged by Turkish state prosecutors for promoting the terrorist group, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), according to the online news site the Jurist. The source stated in its report, "according to the indictment, the defendants used a Reuters reporter's observation of a PKK handover of an abducted soldier to representatives of a human rights group to create propaganda in support of the Kurdish separatists.
The reporter, who argues he was simply doing his job, was detained following the incident and was among the nine named in the indictment."
