One year prison sentence for saying......

....."Do you know the prime minister has sold the country?"


Retired Gen. Berk sentenced to 11 months in prison for insulting Erdoğan
25 October 2011, Tuesday

Prime Minister Erdoğan's lawyer, Fatih Şahin, petitioned the Ankara prosecutor's office in August 2010 alluding to a speech Berk gave in 2008 during a visit to the village of Başbağlar in Erzincan's Kemaliye district. Erdoğan accused Berk of insulting him during his speech and claims that Berk told the audience, “Do you know the prime minister has sold the country?”

The Kemaliye Court of First Instance announced its ruling on Tuesday and handed down an 11-month-20-day prison sentence for Berk. The allegations against Berk had been put forth by village resident Necati Aydoğdu, to whom Berk allegedly said, “Do you know that the prime minister has sold the country?” after finding out that Aydoğdu had voted for Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party (AK Party).

One good illustration why the EU should itself announce the suspension of all further discussion on EU membership with the Tur*s.
