A physician in Turkey faces jail time after posting a meme comparing the president of Turkey to Gollum. He was also reportedly expelled from the Public Health Institution for the same action.
The judge ruling over the case has called for an investigation into Gollum to determine whether or not the comparison was an insult. Two academics, two behavioral scientists and an expert on cinema and television productions will examine the character.
Meanwhile, lawyers of the case presented a research report that was carried out through internet, where poll results evaluate if Gollum is a good, bad, ugly or suffering character with different options in the form. The man's lawyer said the case has turned into “a case of saving the pride of Gollum”.
