Kamer

Turkish authorities on Nov. 27 freed a reporter for the BBC's Turkish language service in the southeast of the country after holding her for a day without explanation, the broadcaster said.

BBC Turkish correspondent Hatice Kamer was detained in the Şirvan district of the southeastern province of Siirt on Nov. 26, becoming the latest journalist to be apprehended in Turkey.

Kamer went to Şirvan following the collapse of a copper mine that killed at least 11 miners and left five others missing, in order to meet with the relatives of the victims.

I had set up the Kamerist Youth Movement, which was based on "individual opposition for the public good," as a joke.
