Fascisme in de praktijk: Turkse aanklager bereidt zaak voor tegen oppositieleider wegens belediging van president Erdogan

A Turkish prosecutor has filed a summary of proceeding against the country’s main opposition leader on charges of “insulting the president” in his public speeches and through messages he shared on social media.

The Ankara Chief Prosecutor’s Office drafted a summary of proceedings over main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on the basis of Article 299 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK), which states: “A person who defames the president of the Republic [of Turkey] shall be imprisoned for a term of one to four years and the penalty to be imposed shall be increased by one-sixth if the offence is committed publicly and by one-third if it is committed by way of press and media.”
