(Turkey) - The editor of Turkey’s only magazine for LGBT people, who is also a leading gay activist, was indicted last week under a vague statute banning "obscene" material, and could face up to three years in prison. The criminal case was brought against Umut Güner, 29, who is editor of Kaos GL - the magazine published by the Ankara-based LGBT association of the same name, of which he is also a vice-president - because it had dedicated its issue published in July to a symposium discussion of the subject of pornography, with articles by various gay writers.
