Turkey postpones Swedish journalist Medin trial for fourth time amid EU pressure

An Istanbul court postponed the trial of Swedish journalist Joakim Medin for the fourth time, prolonging a case condemned by press freedom groups and the EU Parliament, which has demanded charges be dropped. The repeated delays suggest judicial stalling rather than substantive legal progress, keeping diplomatic friction between Turkey and Sweden/EU alive. The outcome remains uncertain, but the case continues to test Turkey's rule-of-law commitments.
