Turkish prosecutors in capital Ankara have ordered the detention of an Islamist woman who filmed herself insulting Turkey’s founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk at his mausoleum.
“Work was continuing to apprehend” Safiye İnci, a statement by the head prosecutor’s office in Ankara was quoted by pro-government Karar daily as saying, and she was later detained by police.
“I am very embarrassed for having come here. I came because they really insisted. I don’t like Atatürk a bit. Atatürk didn’t found Turkey, either. You know, there are Atatürkists who don’t like Tayyip (Erdoğan)… Atatürk could not even be Tayyip’s shit,” İnci said at Atatürk’s mausoleum on a video shared on social media.
In response, social media users started a Twitter hashtag calling for İnci to be jailed.
Pro-government Takvim daily denounced İnci as an “actor”, saying that she was an opposition supporting provocateur who had donned the headscarf in order to make Erdoğan supporters appear to be anti-Atatürk. It also quoted social media posts saying that she was a member of the Gülen movement.
İnci later issued a second video apologising and saying that she had only said those things in response to a friend who had no respect for her own views.
The Interior Ministry announced that 514 social media accounts have been investigated while legal action was taken against 313 social media users due to their posts, Gazete Duvar reported last week. (SCF with Ahval)
