Turkey police arrested journalist Sadaf Kabas for insulting Erdogan

Merdan Yanardag, chief editor of the Tele 1 channel on which Kabas made the comment, sharply criticised her arrest."Her detention overnight at 2 a.m. because of a proverb is unacceptable," he wrote on Twitter. "This stance is an attempt to intimidate journalists, the media and society."The law on insulting the president carries a jail sentence of between one and four years.
