She is also a wanted woman. During her time as a Al Jazeera English journalist, Turton was one of several journalists working for the Al Jazeera network to be targeted by the Egyptian authorities in retaliation for her reporting. The Egyptian courts found her guilty of “aiding the Muslim Brotherhood” and reporting “false news,” sentencing her to 10 years in prison in 2014. Finding herself unable to visit countries that might extradite her to Egypt, she has had to leave her position at AJE in June 2015 because she couldn’t travel freely to report in the Middle East.
