Baris Pehlivan (IPA: [ba??? pehlivan]; born July 10, 1983) is a Turkish journalist and writer investigating mainly about Turkish contemporary history and politics.
In February 2011, he was arrested and kept in detention at Istanbul’s Silivri Prison in connection with his work at odatv, accused of links to the Ergenekon organization.
In September 2012, he was released pending trial following an judicial report confirming that the evidence collected against the journalist have probably been digitally forged and sent using a trojan horse to infect his computer.
The case against Pehlivan and his colleagues continues.
