A group of Turkish activists will initiate a political disobediences
campaign against Article 301 of the Penal Code.
10 members of the `Strong Turkey' Party intend to gather in one of
public places of Istanbul and repeat the statements made by
editor-in-chief of the Agos daily Hrant Dink, which were characterized
as `insulting' Turkishness' under Article 301. Later they will
surrender to the Office of Public Prosecutor. Next week another 10
activists will repeat their actions.
`The campaign will continue until Article 301 is expelled,' leader of
the Party Tuna Beklevic told the Associated Press.
`We do not want a Turkey stuck into darkness. We shall tell the Public
Prosecutor: we have committed a crime, come and judge us,' he
declared.
The Party that was established only four month ago has several
thousand members.
