Turkey’s controversial article 301 has been reworded. Under an amendment passed by the parliament this morning, The term ‘Turkishness’ is replaced by the ‘Turkish nation’, and the term ‘Republic’ with ‘State of the Republic of Turkey’.
Index on Censorship last week honoured Arat Dink, who has been prosecuted under 301 for insulting Turkishness, with a Freedom of Expression Award.
