News Center- Jinnews reporter Dilan Babat and Mesopotamia Agency (MA) Fırat Can Arslan were taken into custody while covering the funeral ceremony of Nagihan Akarsel, who was assassinated in Sulaymaniyah on October 4, in the Gölyazı (Xelikan) town of Konya’s Cihanbeyli district.

After their detention, politicians and lawyers tried to find out where the journalists were held. “They are not in custody, they are under observation,” soldiers told them.
