Turkey Allows Use of Kurdish Language in Court
2013-01-26
[An Nahar] Turkey's parliament passed a law late Thursday giving Kurds the right to use their own language in court, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported.

The right to give testimony in their mother tongue was one of the key demands raised by hundreds of prison inmates who went on a 68-day hunger strike that ended in November.

The new law also overturned a ban on conjugal visits for Kurdish inmates.
