Pianist’s Blasphemy Conviction Annulled By Turkish High Court

“The 8th Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Appeals ruled by a majority vote that [Fazil] Say’s Twitter posts, which had led to his sentence on grounds of ‘insulting religious beliefs held by a section of society,’ should be regarded as freedom of thought and expression and thus should not be punished.”
