The Middle East Technical University students in the July 6 ceremony in Ankara made and carried a long banner printed with a cartoon of animals whose faces resembled Tayyip Erdogan, entitled "The World of Tayyip".

Originally published by a popular satire weekly magazine, the cartoon was the subject of a defamation lawsuit by Erdogan 12 years ago, when he was The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

 an Ankara court dismissed the case, saying the cartoon was within the limits of freedom of speech.

Anadolu said the four had been "arrested ... in the course of an investigation into a sign containing defamation of Erdogan".
