An Italian woman was still being
held in Turkey on Monday after being detained on Sunday while
conducting election monitoring for the pro-minority HDP party in
the south-eastern province of Batman.
Local sources said no formal charges have been made but the
authorities are investigating material on the computer of the
woman, Cristina Cattafesta.
She risks being accused of propaganda for the PKK, sources
said.
The foreign ministry in Rome said the Italian embassy in
Ankara was following the case.
