Journalist Released Pending Appeal Over Threat Claims

Turkish court ordered Fatih Altayli's release from prison pending appeal after a threat charge.
Case stems from Altayli's remarks on a program criticizing Erdogan's lifetime presidency.
Court cited no flight risk, evidence, and detention time as release reasons.
Altayli continued commentary via letters before program suspension.
He denies comments were a threat, challenging prosecution's claims.
Independent journalists use YouTube due to pro-government media control.
