Erdal Kinaci won the category People in the National Geographic International Photography Contest 2006 with a shot of a Turkish couple and one of their children. He was arrested on July 03, 2008 in Turkey for issues related to his photographs.

National Geographic

Winner from Turkey: Untitled
Photograph by Erdal Kinaci

Illuminated in the background by a shaft of light, Huseyin Ates watches his wife and son accept food packages in the Turkish village of Malaklar. Huseyin suffers from a lung-related illness and has lost the mental capacity to work. His wife, Kiraz, does her best to support the family as a cleaning woman. Ali, left, is the youngest of three children. The other two attend elementary school with support from the Foundation for Social Assistance, where the photographer, Erdal Kinaci, is an active member.

Erdal is arrested ... I'm arrested too, when Erdal shall be free I'll be free too, and until this happens I can't share more dreams or I can do ?

this is not a dream ... this is REAL !!!!

To be arrested for such thought provoking photojournalism...it is beyond my comprehension...freedom of expression seems to be an illusion...this poor man to be put through this is an abomination...

they don't know the meaning of photojurnalism and freedom to express oneself. that man deserves all the freedom in the world. I can't understand why the authorities are so sensitive... nya... such bad news.

*zapfino:iconzapfino: Jul 5, 2008, 8:17:51 AM
so WHY was he arrested??

I found this at [link]

"Doctor and photographer Erdal Kinaci has been arrested when his photograph winning the world champion prize of National Geographic turned out to be photomontage.
Kinaci has been arrested for "taking photos of the handicapped by deceiving and combining these photos via photomontage."
Kinaci works as a doctor as his major profession and is the chairman of Anamur district health group.
Kinaci won the category people National Geographic contest 2006 with his photo with the title "the street whorehouses".

And similar at [link]

So he does manips but saying that they are not manips. Is this correct?? Or is the news media not saying the truth.

Anyone have more info???

i'm confused now. was there a reason given for the arrest? was it directly related to the photo? i can understand disqualifying him if he claimed a photo that was actually manipulated, but arresting him for it seems a bit much.
