Renowned Turkish journalist Hasan Cemal, who is the grandson of Cemal Pasha—one of the architects behind the Armenian Genocide—has been sentenced to one year and three months in prison, on charges of “terrorist propaganda.”
The court found Cemal guilty of publishing an article about Fehman Hüseyin—a leader of the Kurdish militants—stressing that this article depicts Hüseyin as a chief of staff, and presents the Kurdish armed movement under a positive light, according to T24.com news website of Turkey.
The court, however, suspended this sentence, but noted that should Hasan Cemal repeat such a crime, the ruling will enter into force.
