0:49Now PlayingIn a bold expression of dissent, Turkish lawyer Feyza Altun faced imprisonment for her critique of Sharia law on social media, particularly highlighted by her forthright comment, “f*** sharia,” in response to an interaction with a confrontational Twitter user. This action led to her arrest by Istanbul's Beykoz Chief Public Prosecutor's Office under charges of inciting enmity or hatred towards a religious group, as defined by Article 216 of the Turkish Penal Code. Altun's defense in court was compelling and defiant, stating, “For me, what you call Sharia is the Taliban mind that stones women on the streets. In this context, I stand behind my word. That regime will not be implemented in this country either. Modern secular law rules apply in this country.” Her case sparked a significant online backlash, with campaigns for her arrest and personal threats against her. Despite the controversy, Altun remained steadfast, clarifying rumors about her personal life while reiterating her commitment to secular law and freedom of expression in Turkey.
