Prosecution for cartoon

lundi 10 juin 2019 à 02:00

Journalists in Northern Cyprus won a partial victory. They were being prosecuted for "insulting" Erdoğan, with a cartoon.

The judge ruled that their cartoon was not an insult. The victory was only partial, because the law criminalizing insulting Erdoğan remains in force, although the scope of what is prohibited is not as wide as what Erdoğan wanted.
