In #Turkey posting a meme insulting the president #Erdogan is a crime, a doctor was prosecuted and almost faced 2 years in jail.

In recent years more and more people in Turkey is silenced for having opinions against the government.

Recep Erdogan used the democracy to gain power and now is destroying all democratic institutions and oppressing citizens, especially minorities.

Ojalá pronto #Turquía deje de estar gobernada por un dictador que usó la democracia para llegar al poder y luego destruirla.

Y ojalá pronto personas como @aral puedan regresar a la tierra donde nacieron sin miedo a ser perseguidos ellos mismos y sus familias.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Turkey can shed its Islamist autocrat today. Not least of all because it would be good to be able to visit friends and family again. https://ar.al/notes/my-speech-at-general-assembly-in-berlin-november-2017/ #turkey #türkiye #erdoğan #kılıçdaroğlu #turkishElection #democracy #autocracy #theocracy
