Wigan journalist campaigns to free translator still in prison

Two British journalists arrested in Turkey on terror charges are campaigning to get their translator, who remains in prison, freed.

Philip Pendlebury, from Wigan, and Jake Hanrahan were accused of "working on behalf of a terrorist organisation" and "assisting Islamic State" before they were eventually released on Thursday.

Mr Hanrahan described his arrest and time in a high-security prison as "traumatic" and added he was concerned for their Turkish-based colleague Mohammed Ismael Rasool.

Vice News said: "Vice News continues to work around the clock with all relevant government and legal representatives to secure his release.

"We call on the Turkish authorities to continue their positive course of action in freeing Jake and Philip, and releasing Rasool immediately."
