A court in Turkey has banned access to
YouTube
after a single citizen complained that it contained clips which insulted the
country.
The ruling followed a complaint that material posted on the video sharing
website mocked the country's modern founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, along with
the national army, president Abdullah Gul and prime minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan.
The Turkish Telecommunications Board has been told to block all access to
YouTube following the court ruling.
Turkey
blocked
access to YouTube in March this year after it hosted a video showing
pictures of Ataturk with insults superimposed in English.
The country's
penal
code makes it a crime to insult 'Turkishness' and the courts routinely press
charges against writers and journalists for mentioning the
Armenian
genocide of 1915-1917.
