An Istanbul court ordered the arrest of daily Hürriyet reporter Arda Akın on Aug. 15 as a part of the nationwide probe following Turkey’s failed military coup attempt of July 15.
Akın had initially been released on probation in the investigation, which witnessed the arrest of 18 journalists.
However, the Public Prosecutor’s Office appealed the release of Akın and a second detention warrant was issued for him.
Akın was then detained on Aug. 15 at a police station and the Istanbul Criminal Court of Peace later ordered his arrest pending trial.
