Reports: Turkish ex-TV presenter held over tweet

Turkish media reports say a former television presenter has been detained for posting a tweet suggesting a cover-up in a government corruption scandal, in a new case highlighting deteriorating media freedoms in the country.

 

Sedef Kabas told Radikal news website on Tuesday that she was being questioned by police after telling her Twitter followers not to forget the name of a judge who dropped a corruption and bribery probe earlier this year. The government didn't immediately confirm Kabas' detention.
