The head of the Berlin branch of Germany’s Pirate Party was arrested for “insulting a representative of a foreign state” when he quoted a line from comedian Jan Boehmermann’s satirical poem about Erdogan. German police arrested Bruno Kramm as he conducted a “literary analysis” of the Boehmermann’s poem in front of the Turkish embassy in Berlin, during a rally in support of the comedian, according to the Morgenpost newspaper RT reports: The politician cited a couple of lines from the now-infamous piece that landed Boehmermann in hot water, namely, “Kicking Kurds, beating Christians,” which refer to the Turkish authorities’ reported crackdown on minorities. Kramm was approached by several police officers as he was reciting the lines and taken into custody. The police dispersed the gathering shortly thereafter. One of the activists, Franz-Josef Schmitt, posted a photo of a police van, saying that nobody is allowed to visit Kramm. According to the newspaper, police have accused Kramm of violating a rarely used section of the German criminal code, namely section 103, that prohibits insulting “organs and representatives of foreign states.” Vorsitzender der #PIRATEN #Berlin verhaftet, weil er #Erdogan wie #Böhmermann beleidigt habe https://t.co/XZMzVK1Vdf pic.twitter.com/0kcDKMqMas — Piratenpartei (@Piratenpartei) April 22, 2016 “When people [...]
