Turkish singer receives sentence for religious school joke.
Turkish pop singer Gulsen has been given a 10-month suspended sentence by a court in Istanbul for "inciting hatred and enmity" over a joke about Turkey's religious schools. The singer was briefly jailed last year for the joke she made during a concert. The court found her guilty of the charge and initially sentenced her to one year in prison, but later reduced the sentence, citing her "respectful stance" during the trial. Gulsen will face prison if she reoffends within the next five years.
