Turkey detains opposition newspaper editor

An editor at a leading opposition newspaper in Turkey has been detained for questioning.
Oguz Guven, the editor of pro-secular Cumhuriyet newspaper's online edition, tweeted today "I'm being detained."
Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency said Guven was detained for a news article on the death of prosecutor Mustafa Alper in a traffic accident yesterday. Details about the article in question have not been released.
Alper, chief prosecutor of Denizli province in southwest Turkey, filed the first indictment against the network of US- based cleric Fethullah Gulen following last summer's coup attempt.
The Turkish government blames Gulen for orchestrating the coup, which he denies.

Twelve journalists and senior staff members of Cumhuriyet are behind bars pending trial on "aiding terrorist organisations.
