Turkish Writer Fined For “Insulting Turkish Identity”

Turkish writer Zulkuf Kisanak “has been fined 3,000 lira (£1,300) under a much-criticised law against insulting Turkish identity. He was first given five months in jail, but an Istanbul court then reduced the sentence to a fine. He is among more than 60 writers and publishers, including novelist Orhan Pamuk, to face charges under the law.”
