In a sarcastic newspaper in Istanbul, Turkey, a lot of tension spread around the allegation of publishing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) of Islam. The magazine called 'Le Man' has been accused of publishing a 'abusive' cartoon in religious values. The allegations also issued the arrest warrant against the chief editor of the magazine.
Then the journalists of the magazine 'Le Man' were attacked at a bar that regularly traveled to the journalists. Police fired gas and rubber bullets in tears and brought the situation under control. According to eyewitnesses, about 20 to 5 people were involved in the clash.
Tunchai Akgun, the chief editor of the magazine, claimed that the cartoon was not a picture of Prophet Muhammad. He said that the cartoon was originally made using the fictitious name of a Palestinian Muslim child using 'Muhammad'. He said, 'Muhammad is the name of more than 20 million people around the world. Religious contempt has nothing to do with it. '
On Tuesday, the UK -based media reported The Guardian that the magazine, founded in the 5th, was well known for the political cartoon. In particular, it has been a criticism in the eyes of conservatives since the French magazine Shirley Hebdo took the stand in the 21st.
After the incident, Turkish Home Minister Ali Yeronica said the graphic designer of the newspaper along with the painter was also arrested. He also warned that legal action would be taken against the criminals.
Meanwhile, Le Man explained the cartoon in multiple posts, saying, “This is the image of a Muslim killed in Israel. Our purpose is never to contempt religion. ' They also said that the cartoon was purposefully distorted and promoted.
Turkey's Justice Minister and Governor of Istanbul have said that injury will never be tolerated on religious values. The incident is now under investigation.
