Journalist Şerife Oruç detained again after being released from 793-day arrest

Journalist Şerife Oruç has been detained again immediately after she was released from 793 days of pre-trial detention.

Under arrest on terror charges since July 5, 2016, Oruç was released on judicial control on Monday. Media associations from in and outside of Turkey welcomed the decision.

Yet, Oruç was rounded up immediately after she was released as part of another investigation against her.

Oruc worked as a reporter for the pro-Kurdish DIHA news agency until it was shut down by the government in the aftermath of the July 15, 2016 failed coup.
