French reporter jailed in Turkey to be freed: lawyer

PARIS, Sept 15, (APP/AFP) – A young French reporter who
has been held on terror charges in Turkey for the last seven weeks is set to be freed Friday, his lawyers said.
The news came a day after French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian
had pressed Turkish leaders on a visit to Ankara to free 26-year-old journalism student, Loup Bureau.
Bureau’s lawyers said “we have the satisfaction to announce that he
is being freed” while Christophe Deloire, of Reporters Without Borders, said on Twitter than Bureau’s release was “imminent” and he would return to Paris on Saturday.
