Comedian Deniz Göktaş was rearrested without being released after being detained over the remarks in his “Dead Sea” show on charges of “insulting the president” and “publicly inciting the people to hatred and hostility.” Göktaş said the reason for the new detention was the charge of “praising the crime and the criminal” over other remarks in the same show, adding, “A new charge emerges from a 90-minute show every two months.” Göktaş said that his morale and health were good.
