Swedish prosecutors deny that spy arrests are linked to journalist held in Turkey

Sweden has denied arresting two individuals linked to Kurdish and Swedish diplomatic figures amid ongoing accusations against Swedish journalist Joakim Medin in Turkey. Medin faces charges of affiliation with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, following his detention at Istanbul airport as he arrived to cover a mass protest. Sweden-Turkey relations have been strained over concerns about Nato membership, but no direct link has been confirmed between the two investigations involving government employees.
