> Someone was criminally prosecuted because he insulted Erdogan.
No they weren't. He was never prosecuted - an investigation was opened after a complaint by Erdogan and then dropped before charges were laid.
From your own link:
"Erdogan then filed a complaint alleging that he had been insult" and "The prosecutors in the western city of Mainz said they had not found sufficient evidence to continue the inquiry against Jan Boehmermann."
Additionally:
"Mrs Merkel added that the authorities would move to repeal the controversial and little-used Article 103 of the penal code, which concerns insults against foreign heads of state, by 2018."
Which was done[1].
Seems a pretty good example of a functioning democracy.
