Journalist Deported From Turkey for Slamming Government on Twitter

Erdogan

A journalist in Turkey was sent back to Azerbaijan on Feb. 7 for tweets that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan felt crossed the line of government criticism.

Just over a month ago, Erdoğan filed a criminal complaint against Mahir Zeynalov because his Twitter feed was full of blistering blurbs that slammed Erdoğan for a corruption scandal that has consumed his government, caused three members of his cabinet to resign and consumed headlines across the nation.
