Turkey Guilty Verdict for Depicting Erdogan as Gollum
BBC
Did you ever notice how thin skinned bullies like to silence and punish their critics?
A court in the south-western Antalya province gave Rifat Cetin a suspended one-year jail sentence and stripped him of parental custody rights.
He has insisted his images, comparing Mr Erdogan with the grotesque-looking Gollum in 2014, were harmless.
Gollum appears in JRR Tolkien’s trilogy as “a small, slimy creature”.
His longing for the ring has distorted his body and mind.
