ISTANBUL - Turkey has reversed its decision to ban a German journalist from leaving the country while she awaits trial on charges of being a member of a terrorist organization, the journalist said on her Twitter account on Monday.

Mesale Tolu confirmed on her Twitter account German media reports that the travel ban Turkish authorities imposed since she was released from prison in December after eight months in detention had been suspended.

"As a result of my lawyer's application, my ban on traveling abroad has been lifted," Tolu wrote on her Twitter account in Turkish. "My prosecution will continue on Oct. 16."

Germany has demanded the release of several of its citizens, some of Turkish origin, as a necessary step to improve ties with Turkey.
