Comediantul Deniz Goktaş riscă nouă ani de închisoare pentru 'insulte' aduse lui Erdogan

A Turkish court has accepted a lawsuit against comedian Deniz Goktaş for insulting President Erdogan, potentially facing nearly ten years in prison. Goktaş is accused of inciting hatred during a YouTube show and has been in pre-trial detention since July 3. He denies the charges, which also include making jokes about women in religious swimwear. The court has set the first hearing for September 28. Human rights organizations have defended Goktaş, claiming the case violates freedom of expression.
