Kanter's brother indicted by Turkey

Postby 26+6=1 » Thu Dec 21, 2017 12:10 pm

Karem's brother; Enes Kanter (NBA star) was indicted by a prosecutor in Turkey and could be jailed for up to four years for political statements against Turkey's President Erdogan if extradited (which won' happen). America has stated that such political indictments will not result in extradition of political protestors that are in the USA! However, travel in Europe or returning to Turkey will be risky.
Sad state of affairs and sorry for the trouble for Karem's family. Erdogan is considered by many to be a tyrant and is persecuting many within Turkey.

If he stays out of Turkey, I think he will be okay.
I also think he probably knew this would happen and said it anyway.

"If he stays out of Turkey, I think he will be okay."

Very insightful. So to be clear, If I ever chronically criticize a tyrannical dictator, your advice is to not go to that country? I've been trolling that guy in North Korea for years, and was going to vacation there over the holiday, but am not changing my plans due to your wisdom. Many thanks.
