ISTANBUL, Sept 28 (Reuters) – A Turkish court convicted comedian Deniz Goktas of insulting PresidentTayyip Erdogan on Monday but ordered his release after almost three months in custody, broadcaster NTV said.
Goktas, 32, was jailed in early July pending trial after an investigation was opened into remarks made during a stand-up performance in Istanbul that included references toErdogan, the Koran and jailed Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
