yes... true... freedom of speech is restricted based on teh regime in the given country, not to threaten the people in power -- absolutely the same is in the west. however, in the west you won´t go to jail for a thought crime, which, if I´m not mistaken, is a reason for jailing people in Turkey.
Can you please explain this a bit more?

What I meant was that freedom of speech is restricted in ways that would prevent people from questioning the regime (government) and people who are in power. For example, in Turkey you cannot criticize Ataturk.. in the west you cannot ´sympathise with terrorists´ -- because making people scared of ´terrorists´ is part of the foreign policy and that´s how they justify their middle eastern political agenda.

I know France likes to control it´s citizens but I thought Switzerland still was a neutral country like it used to be.
