The BBC said on Thursday that Turkey had deported a correspondent who was covering the antigovernment protests<\/a> in the country, after he was detained and labeled \u201ca threat to public order.\u201d<\/p>\n

The broadcaster said in a statement<\/a> that Mark Lowen, who had been in the country for several days, was taken from his hotel on Wednesday and held for 17 hours. He arrived in London on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo journalist should face this kind of treatment simply for doing their job,\u201d said Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, who described the detention and deportation as \u201can extremely troubling incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to report impartially and fairly on events in Turkey,\u201d she added, and said that the BBC would reach out to the Turkish authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
