DMOZ editor jailed

There are some areas of DMOZ that work well, and other areas that don't work so well. However, despite the various criticisms that resound about DMOZ's implementation, you wouldn't expect to see a DMOZ editor jailed for their work on DMOZ.

Apparently, though, a Turkish editor named H. Ertas has been jailed by Turkish authorities, because his work on editing a category about the Kurdish Workers Party (the infamous PKK) was considered as supportive of a "terrorist organisation".
