After a Turkish court decided to extend the detention of Natalie and the Oknin rebels by 20 days, Advocate Nir Jaslovic, representing the couple, landed in Istanbul today (Saturday) to try to change the decision. Tonight Natalie's daughter, Shiraz, is due to land in Istanbul. "I witnessed a conversation between the mother and the family members - she asked to help her in any way and help her in the most difficult distress they are in," said Adv. Jaslowitz.

Jaslovic, an expert in international law and previously also represented the boys suspected of raping tourists in Cyprus, noted that the Turkish prosecutor's office has a public interest in prosecuting, so they decided to file an indictment.

"The court has decided to extend the detention in order to allow the Turkish prosecutor's office to work on filing an indictment in the espionage section. There is a 20-day deadline, but it can be more than 20 days so I got into legal action."

The lawyer further claimed that the prosecutor's office in Turkey sees the reality in an illusory and unfounded way.

"I think what we have seen today is an illusory decision that is contrary to all the treaty regarding detention between countries and it is time to reverse that decision."

As mentioned, the court in Istanbul postponed the release of the couple of tourists who were arrested on suspicion of photographing the presidential palace, despite estimates that the two would be released.

The Foreign Ministry also referred to the case and said yesterday: "Foreign Minister Yair Lapid spoke with the family of Natalie and the Oknin rebels, who are detained in Turkey.

"The Foreign Minister wishes to emphasize that the couple Natalie and the Oknin rebels do not work for any Israeli agency. The Foreign Ministry has been in constant contact with the family since the news of their arrest and updates them regularly on efforts to release them.

Natalie's daughter, Shiraz Ben Harush, said in an interview with News 12: "The last time we talked was on Tuesday, after that she sent pictures - and from there it all started. They met a couple of local friends, one of whom was also arrested. I have no words, I'm just "Everything wants my mother back, to hug her. I can not tell her I love her. I am helpless without hearing her."
