Dutch newspapers have been reporting on this. It's quite serious as it endangers Turkey joining the EU which may boost fanaticism, or at least, not help combat it.
Erdogan is trying to reverse years of secularism, seems like a vulgar power grab to me. It suits him to get votes.

You realise there are plenty of non Muslim countries with freedom of speech issues... And plenty of Muslim countries who aren't locking up random people all the time... Almost as if freedom of speech isn't inherently connected to which sky wizard your country aligns?

sorry earlier i mentioned muslims as the main opponents to our freedom of speech . i did of course mean radical muslims such as isis/ al queda / al nusra/ taliban / saudi arabia / yemen / will all kill you for insulting the prophet. in moderate turkey which is supposed to be secular they are jailing journalists with terrorism charges , and jailed 25 generals who were to uphold the turkish constitution . freedom of speech is not an option with a large proportion of the muslim world .
