Duchess of York charged by Turkish authorities over orphanage film - Telegraph
Poor Sarah! There she was trying to help children, to expose abuses and do some good in the world, and this is what she gets.
The UK press are playing up the prison sentence angle, but according to a BBC report I heard, there is absolutely no chance of that, and they would be very unlikely even to request extradition, and since her "crime" is not a crime in the UK, they couldn't hand her over.
So why are the turkish authorities doing this? It will only remind people of shocking abuses in their orphanage system that were forgotten by most people.
And Sarah has to deal with negative headlines that are in no sense her fault! No doubt people will argue that she should have known better than to get involved etc., but this was under the auspices of the Uk's biggest commercial TV network, and I think Sarah could reasonably assume that they would take care of legal matters.
I know many people take a very different view to me on the cash for access story, but surely even sarah's critics have to aknowledge that she is not in the wrong here. This seems to me to be a vindictive and unneccessary legal proceeding.
