Yasin Akgul, a photojournalist for Agence France-Presse who was arrested this week after covering the huge protests rocking his native Turkey, said after his release on Thursday that the profession is under threat in the country.
In an interview, Akgul, 35, who spent four days in custody, condemned a push "to make it impossible" to bring images of the protests to the world, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces growing unrest over the March 19 arrest of his main rival, Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
