Journalist Tolga Sardan was arrested on Wednesday evening based on a controversial "disinformation" law after reporting on an alleged report by the Turkish intelligence agency MIT to the government about investigations into corruption within the judiciary. The prosecutor's office initiated an investigation for "public dissemination of false information" following the publication of Sardan's article. The Presidential office denied the existence of the MIT report quoted by Sardan. Photo by Efekan Akyuz/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
