32岁的土耳其喜剧演员丹尼兹·戈克塔什于9月28日在伊斯坦布尔法庭出庭，面临多项指控1。这名演员因6月进行的脱口秀表演中的言论被起诉，该表演的YouTube视频曾获得近900万次观看1。戈克塔什自7月3日被捕以来已被审前羁押88天1。
检察机关对戈克塔什提出的指控包括侮辱总统埃尔多安、煽动仇恨和敌意、宣扬犯罪和罪犯等罪名1。埃尔多安是唯一投诉人，而检察机关随后收到了超过500份起诉申请1。在该演员的言论中，将埃尔多安称为"害羞的独裁者"等表述被列为侮辱性言论1。美国国际宗教自由委员会2022年报告曾指出，埃尔多安政府利用言论起诉来压制批评声音1。
Turkish comedian Deniz Goktash appeared in court in Istanbul on September 28 to face charges stemming from statements made during a stand-up performance in June 1. The 32-year-old performer has been held in pre-trial detention for 88 days since his arrest on July 3 1.
Goktash is accused of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, inciting hatred and enmity, and promoting crime and criminals 1. His YouTube-posted performance video garnered nearly 9 million views 1. Prosecutors received over 500 complaints about the show, though Erdogan was the only official complainant 1. Among the remarks cited as insulting was Goktash's characterization of Erdogan as a "shy dictator" 1.
The case reflects broader patterns in Turkey's approach to criticism. According to a 2022 report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, the Erdogan government has employed speech-related prosecutions to "silence critics" 1.
