ISTANBUL (Reuters) – President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Turkey would strengthen freedoms of expression and organisation in the country and the right to a fair trial as part of what his government has called a Human Rights Action Plan.
The plan, promised in recent months as part of a series of legal reforms, would also improve the judiciary system, Erdogan said, adding that no one can be deprived of their freedom because of their thoughts.
