TURKEY - Dutch journalist held in Turkey over 'insulting' Erdogan tweets



A Dutch journalist, who is an outspoken critic of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was taken for questioning then barred from leaving Turkey after tweeting extracts of an article she had written, calling him a 'dictator'. 
Ebru Umar, of Turkish descent, was on holiday when she said she was detained overnight on Saturday at a police station in Kusadasi, a resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast.
