List of prosecuted Turkish writers : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of prosecuted Turkish writers
Several Turkish writers (fiction writers, journalists, academics, etc.) have been prosecuted in Turkey. ==Grounds for prosecution==
Many are prosecuted for statements deemed unpatriotic by official institutions, or by Turkish nationalists. Several disputed laws are often used for this, among others Article 301. On the scale of those prosecutions, and especially the abuse of Article 301, Amnesty International stated that: "The frequency with which Article 301 is being used and the arbitrary nature of its application represent a real threat to freedom of speech in Turkey. Individuals are being harassed and threatened with imprisonment simply for speaking or writing about aspects of Turkish history or culture that do not conform to an imposed nationalist ideal."〔Amnesty International. (Turkey quashes rights to free expression ), The Wire, May 2006. Retrieved on 27 October 2006.〕 The scale of these state-sponsored actions against dissenting opinions is also clear from the fact that in one case, in 1996, 184 of Turkey's leading writers, artists and publishers were indicted under the Anti-Terror Law for "advocacy of separatism" in a single trial at Istanbul State Security Court.〔Amnesty International. (Turkey: Widespread human rights violations in the name of state security ). 1 October 1996.〕 The trial was halted in October 1997 by force of a new law passed by the Turkish parliament.〔Amnesty International, (AI Report 1998: Turkey ).〕 EU officials have complained about this with the Government of Turkey. As an example, the EU Enlargement commissioner, Olli Rehn, has demanded in 2006 that Turkey rewrite its laws which restrict free expression and refrain from all related denial of free opinion.〔The Brussels Journal, (EU Criticizes Turkish Law on "Insulting Turkishness" ), 19 July 2006.〕 Also human rights organizations complain about these repeated, politically motivated prosecutions. Human Rights Watch concludes: "Each of these individuals was charged for nothing more than the peaceful expression of his opinions."
