Social media influencer Furkan Bölükbaşı, who was arrested for sharing a message containing 'threats' against President Erdoğan, has been released.
After being detained on charges of "attempted assassination of the president and physical assault" due to statements made on social media, social media influencer Furkan Bölükbaşı, who was arrested on November 11, was released two months later.
WHAT DID HE SHARE?
Bölükbaşı stated in his post, "The end of Menderes was brought about by the flattery he showed to Kemalism. Hopefully, the current government of Muslims will also take measures to avoid the same fate."
HE DELETED HIS POST AND MADE A STATEMENT
After receiving high engagement on social media, Bölükbaşı deleted his post and shared a photo of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan praying, stating, "Although we sometimes have our criticisms from our own perspective, when any potential danger arises against our president, we stand by him with our blood and soul, and if necessary, we sacrifice ourselves to protect him. We are his loyal and brave Muslim brothers."
