After spending 4 years 7 months in Istanbul’s Silivri High Security Prison on bogus charges, Ahmet Altan was released on 14 April 2021. He is still on trial for various cases and the Turkish courts have banned him from leaving the country. He now lives at his home in Istanbul and is currently at work on the fourth book of his Ottoman Quartet.
