Turkey detains cartoonists over controversial prophet depictions
A Turkish cartoonist from Leman magazine was detained following a controversial cartoon depicting Prophet Muhammad, which sparked outrage and protests. The authorities issued arrest warrants for the cartoonist and magazine editors, citing the cartoon's perceived disparagement of religious values, though the magazine claimed it was meant to highlight the suffering of a Muslim man and not to mock religion. The incident raises ongoing tensions between free expression and religious sensitivities in Turkey.
