To appear in court today: Striking post from Feyza Altun before the hearing! 'I have two different outfits...'

Lawyer Feyza Altun, who was detained in recent months due to a post she made on her social media account regarding Sharia and was released after giving her statement, has been indicted on charges of "publicly inciting hatred and enmity," with a request for up to three years in prison.

Altun, against whom the lawsuit was filed, will appear before the judge at the Beykoz 5th Criminal Court of First Instance today at 15:40.

STRIKING POST: I HAVE TWO DIFFERENT OUTFITS, KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME

Making a statement on her social media account, Altun used the following expressions:

"This morning I have a case for insulting the President, and in the afternoon, I have my Sharia case. I will try to explain to the Prosecutors and Judges of the Republic of Turkey first that criticism is not an insult, and then that there is no Sharia in the country. I have two different outfits, keep your eyes on me."

Bugün sabah Cumhurbaşkanına Hakaret, sonrasında öğlen şeriat davam var. Önce eleştirinin hakaret olmadığını sonra de ülkede şeriat olmadığını Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Savcı ve Hakimlerine anlatmaya çalışacağım. İki ayrı kombinim var gözünüz bende olsun.

DID NOT ACCEPT THE ACCUSATION

In the statement she gave after being detained, Feyza Altun admitted that she had made the post in question, but she did not accept the accusation against her, stating that Sharia is not a religion but a political regime, and that she did not insult any religious belief.
