In Turkey, Iraqi Kurdish journalist Mohammed Rasool, who worked for Vice News, has been released after 131 days in prison. Rasool was accused of assisting a terrorist organization. He was arrested in August in southeastern Turkey, where the Turkish government has imposed curfews as part of a wide-ranging crackdown. Human rights groups have recorded well over 100 civilian deaths in the area. A report by the Committee to Project Journalists last month called Turkey the fifth worst jailer of journalists in the world.
