A Turkish court on Tuesday ordered the conditional release a cartoonist a day after he was jailed to serve a 14-month sentence for insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Nuri Kurtcebe was arrested and jailed on June 4 after a police check found him on a bus travelling in the northwestern Turkish city of Yalova.
But his lawyer Ahmet Erdem Akyüz told Turkish media that a tribunal ruled Tuesday evening that the cartoonist should be released on probation.
The court sentenced the 69-year-old artist for over 14 months in prison over his pictures of Erdoğan drawn in 2015.
