A Controversial Press Cartoon Leads To The Arrest Of Its Author And An Editor - Turkey

A Controversial Press Cartoon Leads To The Arrest Of Its Author And An Editor - Turkey

Turkey police face demonstrators after prosecutor orders arrests at LeMan magazine, whose editor-in-chief denies allegation and says image has been deliberately misinterpreted. Clashes erupted in Istanbul with police firing rubber bullets and teargas to disperse a mob on Monday after allegations that a satirical magazine had published a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad. The clashes occurred after Istanbul’s chief prosecutor ordered the arrest of the editors at LeMan magazine on grounds it had published a cartoon that “publicly insulted religious values”. The magazine’s editor-in-chief, Tuncay Akgun, said the image had been misinterpreted. “This cartoon is not a caricature of prophet Muhammad in any way,” he told Agence France-Presse. “In this work, the name of a Muslim who was killed in the bombardments of Israel is fictionalised as Muhammad. More than 200 million people in the Islamic world are named Muhammad, on June 30, 2025, in Istanbul, Turkey. Photo by Omer Yildiz/DIA Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
