German comedian loses court case against Chancellor Angela Merkel's description of a crude poem he wrote about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as 'deliberately hurtful.'
German Chancellor Angela Merkel looks up during joint press conference with the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, as part of a meeting at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Friday, April 12, 2019. A German comedian has lost a court case against Chancellor Angela Merkel's description of a crude poem he wrote about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as "deliberately hurtful.
Amid tensions with Turkey over a TV satire poking fun at Erdogan, Jan Boehmermann read the poem on television in 2016 to illustrate something he said wouldn't be allowed inMerkel's spokesman said she considered the poem "deliberately hurtful," which Merkel later said was a mistake. Prosecutors dropped an investigation of Boehmermann for lack of evidence of any crime.
Berlin's administrative court on Tuesday rejected Boehmermann's bid to ban the government from repeating Merkel's assessment, since it was clear that wouldn't happen. It also found Merkel's comments weren't unlawful and didn't constitute "prejudgement" of the case against Boehmermann.
