Swedish prosecutors have denied reports linking the arrests of a Kurdish representative and a Swedish diplomat to a journalist, Joakim Medin, facing 'terror' charges in Turkey. The arrests, confirmed by the Swedish Security Service, were for unauthorized handling of secret information, though specifics were not provided. Officials emphasized the case is independent of other ongoing investigations. Medin, a journalist for Dagens ETC, has been accused by Turkey of PKK membership, claims he denies. The current situation is tied to complexities surrounding Sweden's NATO membership application and collaboration on issues of terrorism.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority published a statement refuting media reports linking recent arrests to journalist Joakim Medin's terrorism charges, asserting a lack of connection.
Swedish Security Service confirmed two recent arrests for aggravated unauthorized handling of secret information, but declined to release further details on the case.
