Petition Launched to Unblock WordPress in Turkey
From Sam Bayard of the Citizen Media Law Project...
Following up on our posting yesterday about WordPress in Turkey, the MidEast Youth project has launched a petition calling on the Turkish government to invalidate the judicial decision to block the entire WordPress blog-hosting service in that country. The petition states:
Banning WordPress is a clear violation of free speech that effects the citizens of Turkey, WordPress bloggers, and readers all over the world. Certainly these disputes can be handled more judiciously by the Turkish courts.
Please take a moment to support free speech in Turkey by reading and electronically signing the petition.
