| Description | ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has launched a lawsuit against a political humour magazine for lampooning him on its cover.
Penguen, a satirical weekly, depicted Erdogan as various animals after a newspaper cartoonist was fined for caricaturing the leader by showing him as a cat ensnared in a ball of wool.
Musa Kart, whose sketch made fun of the government's difficulty in passing legislation, was fined 5,000 lira (about 2,000 pounds) after he was convicted last month of "publicly humiliating" the prime minister.
