"Turkey violated privacy of prisoners, Euro court rules
STRASBOURG, France — Agence France-Presse

Prison authorities at Tekirdağ and Bolu, where the 10 plaintiffs were serving sentences, had refused in 2008 to dispatch their letters on the grounds that they were unable to be monitored because they were written in Kurdish."
