Two Vice News journalists freed from Turkish prison

Two British journalists arrested in Turkey on terror charges are being released, according to reports.

Vice News correspondent Jake Hanrahan and cameraman Philip Pendlebury were arrested while filming in the south-east region of Diyarbakir one week ago.

The group had been in the area filming clashes between police and youths from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) which have erupted in recent weeks, according to Vice News.

They were charged with "working on behalf of a terrorist organisation" and questioned over alleged links to Islamic State and Kurdish militants.

Their translator, Iraqi Mohammed Ismael Rasool, reportedly remains in custody.

A Turkish court freed the two Britons after assessing an appeal request, but ruled to keep their fixer in custody pending investigation, their lawyer, and an anonymous Turkish government source, told news agency Reuters.

Turkish media have also reported that they have been released.

Andrew Gardner, from the human rights group Amnesty International, said Vice News had confirmed the journalists would be released from prison on Friday.
