Turkey has called on assistance from the Finnish government to prosecute a man living in Finland who is accused of defaming Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan by posting derogatory pictures and statements on social media.
The Turkish government made the request shortly after both countries signed a “memorandum of understanding” as part of Turkey’s agreement to allow Finland and Sweden to join the NATO alliance.
Part of the agreement includes requests for extradition of people in Finland and Sweden suspected of being linked to terrorism. The man accused of defaming Erdogan is not on that list, broadcaster YleThe man, who lives in the city of Tampere, is accused of insulting Erdogan by posting derogatory images and comments on the social media platform Facebook in 2016. Turkey has previously attempted to have the man extradited but the request was denied in 2021.
The man, a dual citizen of Finland and Turkey who has lived in Finland for several decades, has been subject to prosecution in Turkey since late 2016, but Ankara is now requesting a Finnish court summon the man in the case for a hearing.
