Cabas is expected to face charges and might face up to four years in prison if convicted. The incident in question occurred last night (Sunday) during a news broadcast by a Turkish opposition-affiliated channel. “When a bull enters a palace, he does not become a king – but the palace becomes a barn,” Cabas stated, and afterwards tweeted the statement. Following her comments, police officers showed up at her home in the middle of the night and arrested her. “The honor of the president is the honor of our country,” Erdogan’s spokesman said in response to the event, adding “I condemn this vulgar statement.” The news channel’s editor-in-chief, on the other side, criticized Erdogan and the police and demanded that she be released immediately.
