Abducted Turkish journalists released by PKK
Three journalists working for Turkish state-run news agency Anatolia were kidnapped and released on Sunday by members of the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey, the agency says.
The three — a local correspondent, a cameraman and a photographer — were released uninjured to members of the pro-Kurdish Democratic People’s Party (HDP) in the same area where they were taken, the agency reports.
But their equipment was taken by the militant group which has been fighting against the Turkish state since 1984.
