Saudi Arabia detains two reporters of Turkish TV channel during Foreign Minister’s visit

‘Saudi Arabia has detained two reporters for Turkish TV channel TRT World for 10 hours during a visit by the Turkish foreign minister to the kingdom to help resolve the dispute between Qatar and several Arab countries.
Saudi authorities detained Pakistani correspondent Hasan Abdullah and cameraman Nihat Yayman, who were covering Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s talks with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in Mecca late on Friday. They were later released after Cavusoglu personally intervened with the Saudi king.
There has been no immediate indication of why the two were detained.
Abdullah said in a statement that the two “were detained from our hotel by Saudi police in Mecca after a live analysis” on the crisis with Qatar.
“The ordeal lasted nearly 10 hours during which we faced multiple interrogations and lock-up,” he said.’
