Turkish fashion designer arrested - reports

ANKARA, Jan 3 (Reuters) Turkey arrested fashion designer Barbaros Sansal on charges of inciting hatred on social media, a day after he was attacked by baggage handlers at Istanbul's main airport, state-run media reports said today.
Social media showed footage of the Turkish designer being beaten up by airport workers late yesterday as he was being escorted from a plane to a car by police after being expelled from northern Cyprus.
Sansal was expelled after posting a satirical video on social media calling on people to continue to celebrate the New Year "while there is so much filthiness, vileness and impoverishment" in the country, shortly after a gunman killed 39 people at an Istanbul nightclub. The attack was claimed by Islamic State.
