Where reports differ

State media TRT Haber and Daily Sabah highlighted the prosecutor's office statement, reporting that the investigation was being conducted meticulously, that the allegations regarding the series would be clarified by an expert panel, and that proceedings had been initiated against prison staff.
Opposition-leaning press Evrensel and DW Turkish emphasized that journalist Selahattin Günday, detained as part of the same investigation, was detained a second time without having his statement taken by the prosecutor's office; his lawyers described the ruling as a "backup detention" and a violation of the right to defense.
