Turkish authorities detain prominent journalist for allegedly threatening Erdogan
Istanbul — Turkish authorities detained a prominent journalist for allegedly 'threatening' President Recep Tayyip Erdogan , according to state media.
The detention of Fatih Altayli, whose daily commentaries on YouTube attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, comes amid a widespread crackdown on the opposition.
State-run Anadolu Agency said he was questioned after his detention late Saturday over a comment he made following a recent poll that showed more than 70% of the public opposed a lifetime presidency for Erdogan, who has been in power for more than two decades.
