Prosecution of comedian for insult
jeudi 21 avril 2016 à 02:00Merkel authorized prosecution of a German comedian for insulting Erdoğan.
Since the existing law says that such prosecutions require authorization from the government, Merkel is telling a falsehood when she claims that the decision is not for her to make and she is only recognizing independence of the courts.
If the case results in repeal of that law, at least there will be a positive outcome.
