Üsküdar Belediye Başkanı Sinem Dedetaş İçin SON DAKİKA Tahliye Kararı!

House arrest, rather than unrestricted release, is the key condition in the decision concerning Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş reported by Turkey's SÖZCÜ Televizyonu.

The breaking-news bulletin captures the announcement before her departure from prison. Anchor Serap Belovacıklı says Dedetaş has been granted release under house arrest following a challenge to her detention. Üsküdar is a district of Istanbul on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus.

The report identifies lawyer Akın Atalay as having submitted the release application. Joining by telephone, correspondent Sezin Ceren Övüç says the Anadolu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has confirmed the decision. She describes house arrest as a judicial-control measure attached to Dedetaş's release.

While Övüç explains the order, the broadcast shows archival footage of Dedetaş being detained and speaking at a rally. Those images are not footage of her leaving prison. At this stage of the coverage, the reporter says the timing and arrangements for her departure from Çorlu Prison are still being followed.

The distinction matters to the announcement: the order allows Dedetaş to leave prison, but requires her to remain under house arrest. The bulletin reports a change in detention conditions, not an acquittal.
