French journalist detained in Batman
By  TM -  May 9, 2017

Mathias Depardon

French photojournalist Mathias Depardon was detained on Monday after photographing the local scenery in Batman province.

Erol Önderoğlu, the Turkey representative of Reporters Sans Frontières, announced from Twitter on Tuesday that Depardon had been transferred to the Gaziantep Immigration Authority.

He was detained in the historic town of Hasankeyf after taking pictures of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. His cameras were also seized, Önderoğlu tweeted.

Depardon is an İstanbul-based documentary freelance photographer and frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal and Le Monde.

On April 9, Gabriele del Grande, an Italian journalist working for the ANSA news agency, was detained during a security check in the southern province of Hatay. He was released by a Turkish court on April 25.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
