Kanter's father released from Turkish prison
The father of the NBA player Enes Kanter — an outspoken critic of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdou011fan — was acquitted of terrorism charges, the former Oklahoma City Thunder big man said on Friday.
The Guardian reported that charges against Dr. Mehmet Kanter were dropped on Thursday by a court in north-western Tekirdau011f province. There was no immediate statement from the court on why he had been cleared.
“Wow! I could cry … Today I found out that 7 years after arresting my dad, taking him through a Kangaroo court and accusing him of being a criminal just because he is my dad, my dad has been released,” Enes Kanter tweeted.
