Dickinson Acquitted

Michael Dickinson, Acquitted (25/9/08)Great news: British artist Michael Dickinson has been acquitted of insulting the Turkish PM with his collage Good Boy. Professor Mehmet Ozer of Marmara University sent the court a testimonial letter which stated that the work in question was more an example of political criticism, rather than an insult. A very thin dividing line! The court's decision is a major step toward freedom of artistic expression in Turkey. Congratulations, Michael. You did it. Good boy!
