Lawsuit Filed By Kivrikoglu Against Rsf Rejected

PARIS - Paris court rejected on Wednesday the lawsuit that was filed by former Chief of General Staff Huseyin Kivrikoglu against Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
The lawyers of Kivrikoglu will appeal to a higher court.
Kivrikoglu had filed a lawsuit against RSF on charges of insulting his individual rights by hanging his photograph in a public place without his permission, and asked a compensation of 100 thousand euros.
RSF used photograph of Kivrikoglu in the exhibition it opened in a train station in June, 2002 to display leaders of countries where human rights were violated. The exhibition led to a diplomatic crisis between Turkey and France, and Saint Lazare Train Station Enterprise decided to put an end to the exhibition due to security of its passengers.
