A court on Tuesday found a former Miss Turkey beauty queen guilty of
insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on social media, handing her a
suspended sentence of over one year in jail.
The Istanbul court sentenced model Merve Buyuksarac, 27, to one year
and two months for “publicly insulting” Erdogan in a satirical poem she
posted on her Instagram account, the Dogan news agency reported. The
punishment has been suspended, it added, without giving further details.
The “Master’s Poem” — which was shared by the model while Erdogan was
serving as prime minister — criticises the Turkish strongman with
verses adapted from the national anthem.
Erdogan, who was elected president in August 2014 after serving as
prime minister for more than a decade, is often called “Buyuk Usta” (the
Big Master).
