> He was sued that same year by the state for illegal construction and illegally creating an educational institution.

I congratulate Prof. Nesin for creating such a place. No one will remember the stupid bureaucrats who tried to obstruct this unique place but the village will remain.

They sued him because he was critisizing Erdoğan.

Just google “Ali nesin Erdoğan” and you will see the opposite mostly. He doesn’t admire Erdoğan but he is liberal enough to analyse him fair.

"analyse him fair" is criticism (true for anyone, not just Erdoğan). But as I hear, Erdoğan doesn't tolerate fair analysis.

Because fair analysis means that he gets criticised !

Erdogan cant stand Real Analysis. Giggle

Fair analysis is no longer permitted in Turkey.

Their highest literacy rates are found in the prisons where they put the journalists and critics of the government and that's not a joke or something.

I don't know. I saw him in national TV channel two years ago (state owned one) giving a lecture to high school kids on quadratic equations. It was a superb lecture, and trust me he could not appear there if Erdoğan had a quarrel with him.
