|March 28, 2025
BBC journalist Mark Lowen has been deported from Turkey after being arrested and detained for about 17 hours, the organisation has confirmed.
Turkish authorities removed Mr Lowen from his hotel on Wednesday following his coverage of recent anti-government protests. The demonstrations reignited yesterday, with police deploying pepper spray, rubber bullets, and water cannon against protesters.
Mr Lowen was deported from Istanbul yesterday morning after he was accused of “being a threat to public order”, according to the BBC. He had been in the country specifically to report on the escalating political tensions and demonstrations.
