Kurdish Ubuntu under investigation in Turkey

In the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue24 UWN #23], we reported that Kurdish Ubuntu has been promoted (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds_in_turkey) in Diyarbakir, Turkey, with a reception. According to the news agency, Ubuntu was the first linux distribution to implement Kurdish localization. Kurdish localization in Linux was an important milestone for Turkey due to ethnic conflicts.

However, according to Milliyet, a well-known Turkish newspaper, the Diyarbakir Attorney General of the Republic of Turkey started an official investigation on the mayor of Sur (a town in Diyarbakir) and on Ubuntu.
