"Most probably, political publications"
The magazine announced that the police also detained other people as part of the operation, adding that the reason of Zirngast's detention is "most probably political publications."
The Jacobin magazine, which Zirngast has also been contributing to, has also stated,
"One of our contributors, Max Zirngast, has been taken into custody by Turkish police under the pretext of anti-terror charges. This is an appalling abridgment of democratic rights. #FreeMaxZirngast"
