Turkish Journalist Arrest, Erdogan Criticism
A Dutch journalist of Turkish descent, Ebru Umar, was arrested in Turkey for tweeting criticisms of President Erdogan while on vacation. The hosts use this as an example of the dangers of criticizing authoritarian regimes while within their borders. They link this to the broader migration crisis and the leverage Erdogan holds over the European Union.
