Nevşin Mengü reacts to Bölükbaşı's arrest: Rudeness should not be a reason for arrest

Following the arrest of Furkan Bölükbaşı after his post targeting AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan, notable statements have come one after another. Bölükbaşı, who had supported the arrest of many individuals under the charge of insulting the President, was sent to prison for a similar reason, sparking a reaction to the events.

Journalist Nevşin Mengü, who shared a post regarding the arrest of Furkan Bölükbaşı—a figure often described as a troll—stated that the situation had spiraled out of control based on the statements made, and while offering striking criticisms of the events, she concluded by saying she did not find the arrest decision correct.

Here are those statements from Mengü:

There are those trying to explain the issue of Furkan Bölükbaşı's arrest with the balance within the People's Alliance and so on.

In my opinion, there is a situation of unbridled aggression and rudeness that has now escaped the government's control.

Those who speak have entered a race not of how I can express myself, but of how much uglier and more vile I can become.

One of those who completely lost control has hit a wall.

Hundreds like him make a living by insulting and acting filthily.

Despite everything, rudeness and thoughtlessness should not be a reason for arrest.
