Turkish authorities have extended the detention of 22 people, including five journalists, by one day. They were taken into custody following a march in the southeastern town of Nusaybin. The individuals are being held at the Mardin Provincial Police Headquarters. The extension allows police more time for questioning before a decision on formal arrest or release. The march that preceded the detentions occurred in Nusaybin, a town in Mardin province near the Syrian border. No further details about the reason for the march or the specific allegations were immediately provided. Legal extensions of detention are permitted under Turkish law for further investigation. The case continues.
