"To the dismay of many in Turkey, the Supreme Court of Appeals has upheld a decision by a lower court finding that a provocative article that appeared in a local daily, targeting pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) members, was within the scope of freedom of expression. The Bolu Express published a column by Isin Ersen calling for the assassination of pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) deputies to get rid of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). After the PKK killed 13 Turkish soldiers on Mount Gabar in 2007, Ersen, in her column, said instead of chasing several terrorists into the mountains, it would be more effective to kill DTP deputies."
