artist not guilty of insulting Turkish PM

Michael Dickinson has been acquitted of insulting Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister. Dickinson's collage titled Good Boy portrays the PM as a dog. He was initially arrested in June 2006 when he produced an earlier collage, Best In Show, which portrays the Turkish PM as a dog being petted by George W Bush. He was cleared of all charges relating to Best In Show two months later, though at the same time he faced new charges relating to the Good Boy collage.
