The detention period of journalist Sadık Topaloğlu, who was detained with his friend Mehmet Savaş in the evening hours of 10 July in Istanbul, was extended once again.

A confidentiality decision was imposed on the file of Topaloğlu, who continues to be in custody at the Istanbul Police Department in Fatih.

Topaloğlu's lawyer said that his client was asked questions about a file in which he was previously tried. Topaloğlu's lawyer said that there was no investigation opened against Topaloğlu and Savaş, and that a detention decision was taken by the prosecutor's office on duty.
