"Wiretapping and Surveillance Rules
Despite the existing laws and regulations, the right to privacy of private communications is not well-respected in Turkey. According to Human Rights Watch, human rights defenders are routinely placed under surveillance, often prevented from holding public events, and routinely prosecuted for various speech and assembly offenses.
Under the current Turkish Criminal Code, computer-related offenses can be prosecuted pursuant to Amendment 3756, "Crimes on Informatics." Articles 195-200 of the Turkish Criminal Code govern freedom of communication through letters, parcels, telegram and telephone. Government officials are required, subject to various exceptions, to obtain a judicial warrant before monitoring private correspondence. "
"Crimes on Informatics" ........LOL
