Because it's illegal in #Turkey to insult #Erdogan, let me be very clear that I, as the new #pope, would never insult that cartoon looking dictator weakling who can't grow a proper mustache, and who's so insecure in his manhood that he has to use intimidation tactics and bullshit laws to compensate.

47 More Istanbul Officials Detained Amid Crackdown

Turkish authorities arrested 47 more Istanbul municipality members over corruption allegations.
Erdogan’s presidential election rival Ekrem Imamoglu, jailed in March, calls the charges politically motivated.
Opposition party CHP says arrests aim to weaken the opposition ahead of future elections.

Erdogan lässt in Istanbul aufräumen: Mit 53 Haftbefehlen werden Mitarbeiter der Stadtverwaltung festgenommen – offiziell wegen Korruption. Kritiker sehen darin einen Angriff auf Imamoglu und den Widerstand gegen Erdogans umstrittenes Kanalprojekt. #Türkei #Erdogan #Imamoglu #Korruption #Istanbul #Politik #Kanalprojekt #Menschenrechte #newz #turkey #türkiye #türkei

Erdoğan’s fascist regime in Turkey has arrested more members of the secular and progressive Istanbul municipality – including Murat Ongun and his wife. (This comes after he arrested the mayor – Ekrem İmamoğlu – Turkish presidential candidate and his main rival.)

The last time I’d spoken with Murat was when he’d invited me to speak in Istanbul about my work on Small Technology. I sadly had to refuse as they couldn’t guarantee my safety because I’d spoken out against Erdoğan in Berlin and labelled a “terrorist” by the mayor of Ankara for it:

(Needless to say, the place I can be most useful is not in a Turkish prison.)

Erdoğan is a dictator who has installed fascism in Turkey with the full blessing and billions of euros of support from the EU (because we use him as a dam to keep the Brown people away from our shores).

Shame on you, @EUCommission, for your silence and complicity.
