German journalist in court case cleared to leave Turkey
Published 1:47 am CDT, Monday, August 20, 2018 BERLIN (AP) — A Turkish court has ruled that German journalist Mesale Tolu can leave the country, eight months after being released from prison pending the outcome of a trial on terror-related charges.

Tolu wrote on Twitter Monday: "The reports about the lifting of my exit ban are correct."
