New trial for Turkish journalist

A Turkish journalist who was tried for "insulting and deriding" the army is to be retried due to a "procedural error." Emin Karaca was initially sentenced to five months jail for writing a 2002 article in the magazine Yazin which accused the army of involvement in the murder of three young men 30 years earlier. A court later substituted his prison term with a fine of about £350. Now Karaca is to be retried next month and therefore facing jail yet again. (Via IFEX)
