Lev7 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Turkey's foreign minister has suggested that a controversial law against insults to the state or its institutions could be changed. Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk is currently being tried under the law, while lawyers are also threatening to use it against a Dutch legislator. Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said: "There may be need for a new law." "We're trying to make Turkey a country in which democracy and human rights are as valid as in any EU country." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4565466.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
