The İstanbul Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has brought an indictment against actors Metin Akpınar and Müjdat Gezen, who were being investigated for "insulting the president" due to their remarks at "Halk Arenası" (People's Arena) program aired on pro-opposition Halk TV in 2018.
The indictment of the prosecutor's office has argued that the offense of "insulting the president" was committed by the actors, demanding that Gezen and Akpınar be sentenced to prison on the offense charged.
A lawsuit has now been filed against them and they face up to 4 years, 8 months in prison each on charge of "insulting the president publicly."
