Brickbat: Have You Ever Been in a Turkish Prison?
A Turkish court has charged Sarah, Duchess of York, with violating the privacy of children in a state-run orphanage in that country. The duchess was charged with illegally filming the children for a documentary on conditions in the orphanage. The footage appeared to show children tied to their beds. If convicted, she could be sentenced to up to 22 years in prison.

+100. I wonder when putting barbed wire on your fence to prevent burglary is going to be made a punishable criminal offense in Turkey.
That’ll teach her!
