The court ruled that Leyla Zana had violated the penal code and the anti-terror law in nine different speeches.

Ms Zana, 47, has already spent 10 years in prison for links to the PKK, though that conviction was later overturned...

Her lawyer called the sentence an "unfortunate" decision in a country working to join the European Union, and said her client´s words were well within the bounds of free speech..

..

Ms Zana won the European Parliament´s Sakharov human rights award in 1995.

Even I am starting to wonder about your "agenda" now thehandsom?

First Youtube, your reference to "Midnight Express", now this.......

 

Do you scour the Turkish newspapers and pass by any positive news and pick out only the negative?

isn`t it ironic how he makes all this fuss about racism and fascism while praising terrorists and racist movies?

 

He is definitely suffering from the sorosism disease. Don`t feed this troll.

John F. Kennedy once said, "If we make peaceful revolution impossible, we make violent revolution inevitable.

I have watched the movie and it`s the most racist movie I have ever seen which could only be praised by a racist bigot who pretends to be a liberal like some people here, and I don`t know how the jails are in Turkey, but they are defintely not worse than the american prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo.

 Why is it racist?  It is a true story, allbeit exagerated and yes it offended the Turks because of the implication of the state of the jails, but it was a brilliant film, well acted.  I never once thought of it as racist.
