Joakim Medin shares a prison ward in Turkey with the mayor

Swedish journalist Joakim Medin is imprisoned in Turkey, sharing a prison ward with Istanbul's mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, whose arrest Medin was covering. Both are in the Silivri prison, known for housing political prisoners, including those seen as rivals to the current president. Medin faces accusations of insulting the president and alleged links to a terrorist group, though no charges have been filed. Despite the serious nature of the situation, he has received visits and support from the Swedish consulate and his newspaper's editor. The journalist's imprisonment is viewed as high-profile, suggesting that diplomatic efforts are key to his release. The case is more complex than deportation, with unspecific serious accusations, pointing to the need for political resolution.
