Swedish foreign minister urges Turkey to release jailed journalist

Sweden's foreign minister met with her Turkish counterpart to demand the release of Swedish journalist Joakim Medin, who was convicted in Turkey of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The meeting took place during an informal EU foreign ministers' gathering in Warsaw, discussing Medin's case and his potential return home. Medin, detained upon arriving in Istanbul after covering protests in Turkey, faced charges including terrorist links but has denied association with the PKK, a globally recognized terrorist group. While he was released by a Turkish court following a suspended sentence, he now faces trial on a new charge related to his alleged ties to the group.
