Turkey Bans Book by Jailed Presidential Hopeful
Original: Turkey Banned a Book by a Jailed Presidential Hopeful. We Read It.
Turkish authorities have banned a book written by an imprisoned would-be presidential candidate, and the New York Times reports that its editors read the work and describe its contents. The ban adds to concerns about restrictions on political expression in Turkey ahead of potential electoral competition, with the jailed figure's writing drawing international attention as a result.
Why now: The censorship of a political rival's book from prison raises fresh concerns about free expression and democracy in Turkey.
