British Vice Journalists Imprisoned in Turkey Are Released 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, two British Vice journalists who had been imprisoned in
Turkey on terrorist charges have been released. Jake Hanrahan and Philip
Pendlebury of Vice News were detained in August while covering protests
in eastern Turkey over the government's military offensive against
Kurdish dissident groups. The journalists' Turkey-based Iraqi
translator, Mohammed Ismael Rasool, remains in custody.
