Decision to continue detention for journalist Furkan Karabay

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office requested the continuation of the detention of journalist Furkan Karabay, who has been held in prison for 85 days.

The court ruled for the continuation of detention for the third time during Karabay's detention review.

The objection to the detention of journalist Karabay, who has been held in Silivri Prison for 85 days, was heard at the Istanbul 11th Criminal Judgeship of Peace.
