German journalist to stay in detention in turkey

It appears that you are referring to the case of a German journalist who has been detained in Turkey.

According to reports, the journalist, Mesale Tolu, was arrested in February 2017 on suspicion of being a member of a terrorist organization and spreading propaganda. He was accused of being involved with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey.

Tolu, who is a German citizen, was working as a freelance journalist for the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle at the time of his arrest. He was detained in Istanbul and has been held in pre-trial detention for over two years.

The Turkish government has accused Tolu of spreading propaganda and supporting the PKK through his journalistic work. However, many international organizations and human rights groups have criticized his detention, saying that it is a violation of his freedom of speech and press freedom.

In recent months, there have been concerns about the deteriorating press freedom situation in Turkey, with many journalists being arrested and detained on charges of terrorism or espionage. The situation has been exacerbated by the country's state of emergency, which was declared after a failed coup attempt in 2016.

The German government has been actively involved in Tolu's case, with Chancellor Angela Merkel and other government officials calling for his release. In February 2019, the German parliament passed a resolution calling for Tolu's immediate release and condemning Turkey's treatment of journalists.

Despite these efforts, Tolu remains in detention, and his trial is ongoing. His case has drawn international attention and has been criticized by many human rights organizations and press freedom groups.
