Ha! I read about that and its just terrible. Any country that prosecutes journalist, academics, artist or activist is practicing the worst type of authoritarianism. I'm not Turkish but have family who moved there years ago. One of my cousins is is part of a movement to unite the kurdish minority and the Turks. One of their rallies was bombed by ISIS (nudge nudge wink wink) and my cousin was seriously injured. While she was in the hospital, plain clothed Erdogan secret police thugs literally dragged her out of her hospital bed, ripping the IV from her arm and shuttled her off to a dungeon somewhere. She was held incognito for an entire month and then was dumped on the side of the road in her hospital gown a good 100 miles from her home. My father worked for a foreign embassy for a number of years and has quite a few friends in the state dept. A few days before she was released, he went to Turkey and lodged a complaint with the US consult and shortly after she was released. When she finally made it home, she didn't stop, in fact she's back at it and more defiant as ever. I really pray everyday for the people of turkey on both sides; Kurds and Turks.Be careful or Erdogan will ask Obama to prosecute you
