Turkish authorities have ordered the formal arrest pending trial of nine executives and journalists of a leading opposition newspaper following their detention on Monday.
The detention of the editor and senior staff of Cumhuriyet over the newspaper's alleged support for a failed coup in July was described by a top EU politician as the crossing of a red line against freedom of expression.
The nine placed include prominent names like the editor-in-chief Murat Sabuncu, cartoonist Musa Kart and columnist Kadri Gursel.
More than 100,000 people have been sacked or suspended and 37,000 arrested since the coup attempt.
