Turkish woman, held by Israel on terrorist charges returns home

Istanbul : A Turkish woman, held for over a month by Israel on charges of passing hundreds of dollars to a “terrorist” organisation, returned home to Turkey on Monday after her release.

Ebru Ozkan, 27, arrived overnight on a scheduled flight from Tel Aviv, the state-run Anadolu news agency said.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has already called Ozkan to pass on his best wishes after her return, said his spokesman Ibrahim Kalin, describing her incarceration as “unfounded”.
