makne writes "H. Ertas, a Turkish editor of the Open Directory Project
(www.dmoz.org) has been sentenced to 10 months in prison after being
found guilty of editing a category about the Kurdish Workers Party
(PKK). Ertas's lawyer, Suna Coskun, explained that his client had worked
as a voluntary editor at the Open Directory Project during his studies
at the Euphrat-University and had been responsible for the Kurdish
category. At the same time he became interested in Kurds and undertook
his own research into the subject. As a voluntary editor, he had sorted
the directory submissions but could not be responsible for their
content. Therefore there could be no penalty under international law,
according to Coskun. His activities could in no way be understood as
'support for a terrorist organisation' and thus Ertas' release was
appropriate. The court sentenced Ertas to 10 months in prison and a fine
of 416 million Turkish lire ($293). The sentence is not eligible for
probation." (Read on for more.)
