The case raises renewed concerns over press freedom and legal pressure on journalists in Turkey.
Investigative journalist Alican Uludağ has been released from prison after about 90 days in detention, though he remains under prosecution. He was arrested in February 2026 on charges including insulting the president and spreading alleged misinformation related to his social media posts and reporting on Turkey’s judiciary.

The case has intensified debate over press freedom, judicial independence, and media censorship in Turkey.
