TEHRAN, August 20 - A Turkish court has ruled that German journalist Mesale Tolu can leave the country, eight months after being released from prison pending the outcome of a trial on terror-related charges.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - A group that supports Tolu, a German citizen with Turkish roots, said that a court lifted conditions imposed on her after her release. But it said an exit ban on her husband, Suat Corlu, who faces similar charges in the same proceedings, wasn't lifted.
Tolu wrote on Twitter Monday: "The reports about the lifting of my exit ban are correct."
Tolu is charged with engaging in terrorist propaganda and being a member of a banned left-wing group, the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party. She rejects the accusations.
Her case was one of several that have soured German-Turkish relations over the past two years.
