Sinan N. was arrested last year due to his social media posts and was released shortly after. In the lawsuit filed against the user, he was sentenced to 14 months of imprisonment due to “insulting Erdoğan.” Eskişehir 6th Criminal Court of First Instance deferred the announcement of the verdict. The 58-year-old citizen made a statement on his way out of the courthouse, saying, “I was sentenced in the case I was on trial with the allegation that I’ve insulted the President. I have a previous imprisonment sentence for 18 months that was previously finalized. The latest imprisonment sentence for 14 months was deferred for five years.”
