Criminal charges over Güllistan Yarkın’s dissertation: hearing adjourned
Sociologist Güllistan Yarkın had been put on trial under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK) over her doctoral dissertation, which criminalizes “publicly insulting or denigrating the Turkish nation, the state, or key state institutions.” The first hearing of the case was held in Ankara on October 6.
