Spain has freed a journalist whose arrest provoked widespread condemnation from human rights organisations, announcing Friday that he would not be extradited to Turkey as requested by Ankara.
Turkish-Swedish journalist Hamza Yalcin was arrested on August 3 at Barcelona's El Prat airport on a warrant issued by Turkey, which accuses him of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and having links to an unspecified "terror group".
