Gokce Firat, National Party leader and Head-Columnist of Turkish Left, was detained today by "counter-terrorism" Police with the famous accusation of "Insulting the President".
He is still in police custody, but interestingly charged by an article he's already facing a trial. How many new cases are to be opened because of one single article?
This has become something quite normal in Erdogan's "New Turkey"... As we approach the day of the Elections, Erdogan's Tyranny is increasing the pressure. Especially on the 2nd anniversary of the Gezi protests...
Gokce Firat was able to send a brief note to his followers:
"Our struggle will continue with the spirit of Gezi Protests!"
"Our struggle will continue with the spirit of Gezi Protests!"
Gokce Firat is expected to spend the night at the police station. We will keep informing about the updates...
