London, Sep 3 (IANS): Two British journalists arrested in Turkey over terror charges have been freed, a media report said on Thursday.

The two British journalists, Jake Hanrahan and Philip Pendlebury, from Vice News were detained by police in Diyarbakir, south-east Turkey on August 27 while filming clashes between police and youths from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), BBC reported.

They were charged with "working on behalf of a terrorist organisation" and questioned over alleged links to Islamic State and Kurdish militants.

However, their translator and colleague, Mohammed Ismael Rasool from Iraq, reportedly remains in custody.

"While we are grateful that they have been freed, we are deeply worried by reports that our other Vice News colleague, Mohammed Ismael Rasool, has had his appeal of release rejected by the Turkish government," Vice News said in a statement.

Vice News called for a "swift end to this unjust detainment".

Turkey has limited journalists' access to the region.

Turkish authorities came under criticism for detaining the group, including from Amnesty International, which described the charges as "bizarre".
