Turkey removes Wikipedia ban after 3 years

A court in Turkey‘s capital Ankara ruled on Wednesday to lift a ban on Wikipedia, after a decision by the country‘s top court that the block breached freedom of expression.

Turkish authorities had blocked the online encyclopedia on April 29, 2017, after which its parent organization, the Wikimedia Foundation, filed a case against the ban with the country‘s Constitutional Court.
