Turkey frees German-Turkish journalist, who flies to Berlin


BERLIN (Reuters) - A Turkish court freed German-Turkish journalist Deniz Yucel on Friday pending trial after indicting him for alleged security offences, in a move welcomed by Berlin and which could lead to an easing of tensions between the two NATO allies.

Germany has been pressing for months for the release of Yucel, detained since last February on suspicion of spreading propaganda in support of a terrorist organisation and inciting violence. He denies the accusations.
After his release, Yucel headed straight to Germany. A Reuters photographer saw his plane taxiing after landing at Berlin’s Tegel airport. German ARD television reported that he had disembarked the aircraft.
