From the BBC:

Turkish author Ipek Calislar has been acquitted of insulting modern Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

Prosecutors said Ms Calislar had insulted Ataturk when she said, in a biography of his wife Latife, that he had once fled disguised as a woman.

She faced up to four years in prison under Turkey's tough law against denigrating "Turkishness".

The European Union has pressed Turkey to reform the law, which it views as a bar on freedom of expression.
