Journalist Murat Verim, who was sentenced to 4 years in prison for "aiding an illegal organization" in Mardin, was detained in Greece, where he had sought shelter.

Verim was deported to Turkey. The journalist was taken into custody at the Turkish border, and sent to prison on the grounds that he had a firm prison sentence. He was then sent to Edirne F Type Closed Prison.

Verim's trial continues due to two separate lawsuits filed against him.
