Turkish court acquits journo over graft case

A Turkish court yesterday acquitted a prominent female journalist of charges of "targeting a public servant" over a tweet suggesting a cover-up in a corruption scandal that shook the government. Sedef Kabas, a broadcast journalist and anchorwoman on the CNN-Turk channel, had been briefly detained in January for posting the tweet and faced up to five years in jail on charges of "targeting a public servant tasked with fighting against terrorism."
