Turkey convicts editor and publisher

Turkish newspaper editor Arat Dink and newspaper owner Serkis Seropyan have been found guilty of "insulting Turkishness". Dink, the son of the murdered journalist Hrant Dink, is executive editor of the Armenian weekly, Agos, in Istanbul. He and Seropyan were charged for republishing an interview Hrant Dink gave to Reuters last July in which he referred explicitly to the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman empire. They were sentenced to a year in prison, but the sentences were commuted because they had not committed any previous crimes. (Via AKI)
