A Turkish comedian was sentenced to more than 19 months imprisonment for insulting the President and religious values. Deniz Göktaş has been released pending appeal, but still spent 88 days in jail after clips of his show, including a reference to President Erdogan as a “dictator”, went viral. The comedian told a courtroom last week that he stood by his joke describing Erdogan as having evolved from a “shy dictator” to one “confident in his identity". #Turkey #DenizGöktaş #PresidentErdogan #InternationalNews #C4News
