Turkish authorities detained Wall Street Journal staff reporter Dion Nissenbaum for 2½ days this past week, without permitting him contact with his family or attorneys before releasing him.
Gordon Fairclough of The Journal writes, “The reporter, Dion Nissenbaum, 49 years old, left Turkey to return to the U.S. on Saturday. Police took Mr. Nissenbaum from his Istanbul apartment on Tuesday evening. He was released from a detention center on Friday morning.
“A person familiar with the matter said he was held for allegedly violating a government ban on publication of images from an Islamic State video.
“‘While we are relieved that Dion was released unharmed after nearly three days, we remain outraged at his peremptory detention, without any contact with his family, legal counsel or colleagues,’ said Gerard Baker, editor in chief of the Journal.”
