First message from Deniz Göktaş in prison! 'My biggest problem here is...'

Comedian Deniz Göktaş was targeted by circles close to the government after releasing his show titled "Ölü Deniz" (Dead Sea), which he performed in Harbiye, on YouTube.

Göktaş, who faced allegations that he had fled abroad, stated that he was on vacation abroad and declared, "I will be in the country for many years to come."

Later, an investigation was launched against him on charges of 'insulting religious values,' and Göktaş was detained upon entering Turkey.

Göktaş, whose images in handcuffs were circulated, was arrested on charges of insulting religious values and insulting the president, and was sent to Çorlu Karatepe High-Security Prison.

Lawyer Cenk Yiğiter announced that he had visited Deniz Göktaş in prison. Providing information about Göktaş's current situation, Yiğiter stated the following:

"I just saw Deniz Göktaş and our colleague, lawyer Mehmet Pehlivan, at the Karatepe High-Security Prison. Both of them are in extremely good spirits and morale, and they send their best regards to everyone. I asked Deniz if there was anything he wanted to say. He said, 'I am in very good spirits, I am doing better than I expected. I am watching the World Cup. My biggest problem here is that the tournament is low-scoring.' I asked, and he is supporting Argentina. By the way, he has already started writing a new podcast."
