This story is from 27 September 2026.

Comedian Deniz Göktaş's trial begins on 28 September. After the defence, Göktaş's detention status will also be reviewed.

Göktaş had been detained on 2 July after his show 'Ölü Deniz' was published on YouTube, and had been arrested the next day. His release had been ordered on 28 August, but before he could leave prison he was arrested again, this time over claims of 'praising crime and criminals'.
