The terrorism-related trial of Swedish journalist Joakim Medin in Turkey has been postponed for the fourth time. The delay stems from a translation error within Sweden’s response to a Turkish request for questioning. The İstanbul 13th High Criminal Court has mandated a new request be submitted to Swedish authorities to rectify the inaccuracies. Details regarding the specific translation error were not immediately available. This ongoing case highlights tensions between Turkey and Sweden, particularly concerning legal cooperation and freedom of the press. The trial is proceeding in absentia, meaning Medin is not present in court. The continuation of the trial now hinges on the revised response from Sweden.
