Turkish Nationalist Party Leader Umit Ozdag Released After Incitement Conviction

Umit Ozdag, the leader of the Victory Party in Turkey, has been let out of jail after a court ruled on his case.

He was charged with encouraging hatred and hostility, related to social media posts about refugees.

The court gave him a sentence, but because he had already spent time in jail before the trial, he was allowed to go free.

His party is focused on stopping illegal immigration.
