JOURNALIST Jake Hanrahan, who escaped terror charges in Turkey last week, said yesterday that he feels a “massive responsibility” for his still-jailed translator.

The Vice News reporter was arrested alongside fellow Briton cameraman Philip Pendlebury and Turkey-based colleague Mohammed Ismael Rasool while filming clashes between police and the Kurdistan Workers Party on August 27.

The British pair were released last Thursday after being held in solitary confinement and quizzed on their supposed links to the Islamic State terror group.

Mr Hanrahan told the BBC: “I think the biggest burden right now is the fact that my friend and colleague Mohammed Ismael Rasool is still in prison. That is the worst possible thing right now for us.

“We feel massive responsibility and Vice News are doing everything they can.”
