BERLIN Deniz Yucel, a German-Turkish journalist arrested last week in Turkey, views his solitary confinement in Turkey as "almost a form of torture," but said his health and mental condition are good, the German newspaper he reports for said on Sunday.
I am being treated well, but being alone is almost a form of torture," Yucel said in the letter.
A poll conducted by Emnid for the Bild am Sonntag newspaper showed that 81 percent of Germans believed the German government was too accepting of Turkey`s behavior.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the dual German-Turkish national was a "German agent" and a member of an armed Kurdish militant group.
The newspaper Welt am Sonntag published a short letter that it said Yucel dictated to Safak Pavey, a member of the CHP Turkish opposition party, during a visit at a high-security prison located about 80 km (50 miles)from Istanbul.
