“I phoned the British Consulate to inform them I was going to court that day. The contact I wanted to speak to wasn’t there, but the duty consular told me he’d pass on the news. He hadn’t heard about my case. I told him that I was about to appear in court for the third time on a charge of insulting Turkish Prime Minister Tayip Erdogan for two years ago publicly showing a collage picture representing him as a pet dog of America. As I was about to leave I decided to take some photocopies of my more ‘artistic’ collages for possible use in my defence. I also added a ‘Complete Works of Shakespeare’ just in case they locked me up again. I nearly went mad with nothing to read during my last ten day sojourn in police custody.” (03/26/08)
