Turkish football legend Hakan Sukur faces 4 years in jail for insulting President Erdogan on Twitter

Turkish football legend Hakan Sukur is facing a possible four year jail term for allegedly insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Twitter.
In perhaps the most chilling aspect of the story, rather than talking about freedom of speech, the case is currently bogged down in a war of viewpoints on the meaning of what Sukur wrote.

And what Sukur wrote isn’t clear. So great transparency all around!
As reported by the AFP:
Prosecutors have charged Sukur with posting tweets from his account @HakanSukur containing “insulting content against Mr President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his son,” the private Dogan news agency reported.
In his defence, Sukur, 44, said he did not intend to target the president in his posts, the content of which was not made clear. But that was rejected by prosecutors, who claimed that the tweets were “clearly related” to Erdogan, the news agency said.
The Turkish courts accepted the case against Sukur on Wednesday.

The former footballer is a worldwide star being Turkey’s all-time leading goalscorer with 51 goals in 112 games.
During his career Sukur played for Galatasaray, Inter Milan and Blackburn Rovers.
After football, Sukur went into politics and was in 2011 elected MP from Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party however he resigned in 2013 in protest to a corruption scandal in the party.
