The U.S. Justice Department rejected a Turkish prosecutor’s request for help tracking an e-mail address linked to images of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s head superimposed on a pig, Taraf newspaper said.
The request by the state prosecutor in Trabzon would force the U.S. to act contrary to its constitutional obligation to protect free speech, Taraf cited the U.S. response as saying.
