Two hundred and eleven Turkish authors, including the country’s sole Nobel laureate, Orhan Pamuk, protested a newly ratified Media Law that introduces one- to three-year prison terms for “spreading disinformation.”
“As authors, we reject this censorship law that will plunge the country into deep darkness. [May] the truth of the people and the world [win] against the lie of the tyrants,” read a statement by those protesting the law.
