If the African or Latin American country has a good diplomatic standing, I'd consider such a request even more likely, because the tensions don't run as high. But it is difficult to imagine such a monumentally case of stupidity from any friendly state. Turkey included, before this whole mess.

That would just highlight the hypocritical nature of the law. Laws should be about justice; either some deed is damaging to some person/group/society or not. Whether I like the offender or victim, or not, is not a part of the equation. If it is, the law is not a just law, it is something to beat the opponents with.

Such laws could be expected in dictatorships, but not in a supposedly democratic country.
