Turkish Atheists Association Files Charges Against Islamist Newspaper 📰
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 15/06/2020

The Turkish Atheists Association filed a criminal complaint against pro-government Islamist Yeni Akit newspaper for insulting atheists for an article published in the newspaper in February. The news article claimed atheists evolved through several stages, transforming from a general respect for everyone, to narcissism, hedonism and, finally, anarchism. The Yeni Akit report violates the Article 216 of the Turkish Criminal Code, the association's team of lawyers said, which imposes penalties for inciting “groups of the population to breed enmity or hatred towards one another,” by means that include the denigration of religious values.
