The ex-Editor-In-Chief, Ibrahim Guvenc, of the Kurdish paper publishing in Turkish was sentenced by a Turkish court and Turkish Judges to 10 years, 3 months and 22 days for publishing what the Turkish judges considered “propaganda.” The paper was also fined 16,500 TL which is around $9,000.00.
The Turkish Judges in Diyarbakir, a predominantly Kurdish city in South East section of the country, considered the articles in the paper’s 6th issue as propaganda which is “banned” under Turkish law.
The current Editor-In-Chief Aydin Atar is also under threat due to a new investigation for the same “crime” of propaganda. The trial will be held at the same court that sentenced Ibrahim Guvenc.
