FRENCH JOURNALISTS - ILLEGAL REGIME - RELEASED
Τwo French journalists who had been abducted on Sunday by the illegal regime in Turkish occupied Cyprus, were released Monday, after a so called military court ordered each of them to pay a fine of 305 Cyprus pounds (690 US dollars).
Their illegal abduction has been condemned by the European Federation of Journalists, the Cyprus Journalist`s Union and Turkish Cypriot journalists.
German-French public channel ARTE reporter David Muntaner and cameraman Frederic Bak, both French nationals, were illegally arrested Sunday accused of filming a military zone area at the fenced off town of Varosha, occupied by the Turkish army.
