Delete: As an event, his arrest is attested by RT and a single story in a British newspaper that doesn't corroborate the article's text. The other sources are primary, or at least not independent, and none of them are about the subject of the entry. Therefore, we have a speculative Wikipedia article that fails notability on the basis of lack of verification and EVENT.

Delete -- A left wing activist who interferes in another country'sa politics and gets locked up for his efforts. Hardly notable.

Comment: Some of the comments above seem a bit more dismissive than the circumstances warrant. The
Daily Sabah piece cited in the article, for instance, certainly seems to be secondary, fairly substantial and about the subject - and I suspect that the same would apply to
this, from
The Times, if I could see behind the paywall. And left-wing activists who get arrested are notable if there is enough coverage from reliable sources, assuming that the coverage continues. So far as I can see, there was in fact a lot of press coverage in Turkish, quite a bit of it (so far as I can judge, not reading Turkish) looking reliable, at the time of the arrest, and there is still some continuing Turkish coverage - but having said that, without knowing Turkish, there is no way for me to judge whether this would even get close to taking the subject past the
WP:ONEEVENT hurdle.
