Journalist Zafer Arapkirli appeared before Istanbul’s 32nd Criminal Court of First Instance on 26 December 2019 for the final hearing in his trial on “insult” charge. Arapkirli was accused over a social media post in which he commented about remarks by Nurettin Yıldız, the head of an Islamist foundation. The court ruled for Arapkirli’s acquittal. The indictment against Arapkirli sought a prison sentence of up to 2 years and 4 months for the journalist.
