This should be right up the ally of those who support blasphemy and hate speech laws.
Woman Arrested For Tweet Showing Red Stilettos On The Quran
A woman was arrested in Turkey this week after she posted a photo on Twitter of red-stilettoed feet standing on the Quran.
The unnamed woman in her mid-30s was taken into custody in Istanbul on Tuesday on suspicion of blasphemy and inciting religious hatred, Agence France Presse
reported. She was released after questioning.
Police launched the investigation after the firebrand mayor of Ankara, Melih Gokcek, filed a legal complaint against her,
according to Turkey's Dogan News Agency.
"No one has a right to insult our religion," Gokcek wrote on Twitter, and posted the original photo. Standing or laying shoes on an image is often used as a sign of disrespect in the Middle East, where feet are considered unclean.
