A prominent Turkish journalist who is under arrest on accusations of being a member of an outlawed organization appeared before an Istanbul court on Friday in an unrelated case.

Nedim Şener, who was arrested earlier in the year for alleged links to the alleged Ergenekon gang, appeared in a separate case in which he was accused of “violating the secrecy [of the investigation] and slander” in an article he published at daily Milliyet on April 3, 2010. Şener faces up to five years in prison."
