Ahmet Erkanli
He was born on November 13, 1953 in Istanbul (Pendik).
Since his father was a soldier, he started primary school in Elazig and completed it in Istanbul. In 1979, he won the Graphic Department of State Applied Fine Arts YO, now named as MU-Fine Arts Faculty. However, due to my economic deficiencies, he had to leave 2 years later.
He started to draw cartoon in GIRGIR Magazine in 1979. He has been published in the CUMDURET page of the CUMHURİYET Newspaper, the CARSAF Magazine, the HURRIYET Newspaper's WAVE Page, the YOUNG SOCIALDEMOCRAT Magazine and TAVIR Magazine in Culture and Art, and he has nearly 50 awards from national and international competitions.
In 1993 and 1994, 4 cartoons were brought to court. 1 acquitted the cartoons (which he was concerned with feeding human excrement in the east and Turkey in the cartoon was sentenced at ECHR in that case), while 3 cartoon from 10 months to 30 months were given punishment. The 9th Criminal Division of the Supreme Court of Appeals upheld all 3 convictions with 1 week intervals.
He spent 4.5 months in Metris, Şile and Bayrampaşa prisons, respectively. The remaining punishment was removed from the initiatives of the Cartoonists Association. He later filed a lawsuit against the state in the ECtHR for his final conviction, since his 2 sentences had expired.
