Freedom of speech in Turkey and France

lundi 13 janvier 2014 à 13:00

Hrant Dink, martyr for freedom of speech, was tried in Turkey for the "crime" of affirming the genocide of the Armenians. Then, when France first considered a law to make it a "crime" to deny the genocide of the Armenians, Dink said he would go to France and deny it as a protest.

Turkey now plans to increase internet censorship and make it harder to evade.

Banning "hate speech" is an excuse for dangerous policies. No matter what we think of views, we must not ban their expression.
