Great news from Cartoonists Rights Network International:

Meanwhile, Turkish cartoonist Musa Kart was found not guilty of ?insulting through publication and slander? Turkey?s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a cartoon published in the daily Cumhuriyet on February 1, 2014.

The offending cartoon depicted Erdogan, then prime minister, as a hologram fecklessly looming over a money-laundering operation that purportedly involved hundreds of people as well as government officials.
