Summary

Peri Pamir, a Turkish woman, was convicted twice for sharing a Guardian article about a British woman killed fighting with Kurdish forces in Syria.

        well, if you’re accused to be a terrorist, you’re supposed to prove that you’re not so, which is impossible. so while being accused of terrorism lost all it’s weight socially, it’s up to the judge. if he’s one of “them” you’re fucked anyway

          I’d rather be one of those “terrorists” than a person Erdogan seems to like. Hope he lives there rest of his life with breadcrumbs in his bed and the dread of being slapped with a limp penis on the forehead every time he closes his eyes.
