This is so wonderful. And there were so many that worked to achieve this
result. My deepest appreciation for the Turkish community who guided us.
Let’s hope the ban is lifted soon.

Dear friends and colleagues
before new year I would like to share the wonderful news that we received
today. Turkey's Constitutional Court finds that the Wikipedia ban
constitutes a violation of the right to freedom of expression. The high
court also requests Ankara 1st Criminal Judgeship of Peace to remove the
ban immediately. Wikipedia has been banned since Apr 2017.
