Two more arrested in Turkey's southeast for 'insulting Erdo?an'

Two people in Turkey's southeastern province of ?anl?urfa have been arrested for "insulting" President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an on social media.

The two people, identified only by their initials M.?. and F.T., were detained in ?anl?urfa's Suruç district for sharing posts on social media that included "insults and curses" directed at Erdo?an.

According to the state-run Anadolu Agency, the suspects were also charged with "propagandizing on behalf of terrorist organizations" for sharing posts praising the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). 

After testifying at the police department, the suspects were sent to court where they were both arrested. 

Since Erdo?an's election as president last August, his lawyers have filed dozens of cases against alleged "insults" targeting him. 

On Sept. 10, a man identified only as Erhan K. was sentenced to home arrest with electronic handcuffs for insulting Erdo?an in a Facebook post. 

In October, Bülent Kene?, the editor-in-chief of English-language daily Today's Zaman, was detained on suspicion of insulting Erdo?an in a series of tweets.

On Oct. 21, a schoolboy was detained by police in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri for allegedly "insulting" President Erdo?an, though the boy was released when the court determined that he was only 14.
