Novelist to be tried for insulting Turkey

`xork:iconxork: reports, September 20, 2006
Prize-winning novelist Elif Şafak goes to trial tomorrow (Aug 21) accused of belittling Turkishness in her best-selling novel, The Bastard of Istanbul.

The novel has been at the top of Turkish bestseller lists since it was published in March, but its treatment of the 1915 mass murders of Armenians has caught the attention of nationalist lawyer Kemal Kerincsiz. Kerincsiz was also behind the trial of Orhan Pamuk last December. Pamuk's charges were dropped in January, on the same week as the EU began their review of the Turkish legal system.

Şafak, who gave birth to her first child Saturday, is being tried for comments made by characters in the novel and could, if she is found guilty, be sentenced to three years in jail.

That's horrible. Let's hope the court won't be as fanatic as this lawyer.
