Former Tekirdağ Süleymanpaşa Mayor Ekrem Eşkinat, who previously was prosecuted due to the speech he gave at the district congress of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) in 2017 and was acquitted, was sentenced to 11 months and 20 days of imprisonment due to “insulting the President” in the lawsuit retried after the reversal decree issued by the court of appeal. The acquittal decree issued by Tekirdağ 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance for Eşkinat had been reversed by the court of appeal after the objection of Erdoğan’s lawyer.
