Swedish PEN is cancelling the large manifestation that was planned outside the Turkish embassy in support of the imprisoned journalist Joakim Medin. PEN's chairperson Kerstin Almegård cannot however say why.
CrimeThe Ministry for Foreign Affairs has not been particularly swift and often acted too late, when it comes to Swedes being imprisoned in authoritarian regimes, writes Angela Gui in Expressen. The daughter of Gui Minahi, imprisoned in China, now hopes that it will be different for the journalist Joakim Medin, who is locked up in Turkey.
CrimeThe Swedish journalist Joakim Medin is imprisoned in the same section of Silivri Prison as Istanbul's mayor Ekrem Imamoglu – whose arrest triggered the mass protests that Medin traveled to Turkey to cover.
