| Subject: Rights violation: Beauty queen faces jail if she insults that cretinous Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan again Wed Jun 01, 2016 3:21 am | |
| Turkey sentenced a former beauty queen to 14 months in prison yesterday, after she shared a poem on social media that was deemed insulting to the country's president.
An Istanbul court found Merve Buyuksarac, 27, guilty of insulting a public official, deepening a crackdown that has reached journalists, academics and even schoolchildren.
The court said the sentence would be suspended on condition that she did not reoffend within the next five years. The case is one of almost 2,000 defamation suits that have been brought against critics of Recep Tayyip Erdogan since he became president in 2014.
