ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish authorities ruled to release a journalist from pre-trial detention, his lawyer said on Wednesday, a week after he was formally arrested for sharing President Tayyip Erdogan's ID card as proof that hackers had stolen Turks' personal information.

The independent journalist, Ibrahim Haskologlu, had said in a post on Twitter that hackers had obtained the information on the president from government websites, and illustrated his point with a partially obscured photo of what he said was Erdogan's ID.
